Consumer product recalls

The lighters were imported into this country without first being tested to ensure they comply with the Consumer Product Safety Commission's requirements that the lighters be child-resistant. Child-resistant requirements were adopted to reduce the risk of fires and deaths caused by children playing with multi-purpose lighters.

Corrosion can cause the can to leak fuel, posing a fire or injury hazard.

Flames from the tea light candles inside these potpourri pots can flare out of the side ventilation holes, possibly causing burns to consumers.

IF THE END PLATE DETACHES FROM THE BODY, THE BOLT MAY BACK OUT OF THE HOLE ALLOWING THE EQUALIZER TO COLLAPSE IN TO THE CENTER HANGER. THIS WILL RESULT IN THAT SIDE OF THE TRAILER TO DROP DOWN, INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF A VEHICLE CRASH. IF THE EQUALIZER BOLT WERE TO FAIL WHEN USED AS A DRAWBAR BOLT AND THE FAILED BOLT BACKED OUT, THE TOWED TRAILER COULD FAIL TO TRACK PROPERLY AND COULD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE LEAD TRAILER.

The electrical paintings can short circuit, posing a shock or fire hazard.

The forks on these bicycles can break apart, causing riders to lose control, fall and suffer serious injury.

A child can pull the horn off the car's steering wheel, and a small part inside poses a choking hazard.

THESE CONDITIONS CAN PROMOTE THE RISK OF A FIRE IN THE PURAGUARD DL PRODUCT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.

The heaters can emit high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), which poses a risk of CO poisoning to consumers.

The toy track can break, presenting a cut or pinch hazard, and exposed small parts pose a choking hazard to young children.

These lighters do not have child-resistant mechanisms, as required by federal law. Young children could ignite the lighters, posing fire and burn hazards.

Young children who lean forward can fall forward over the handlebars, causing facial injuries.

The smoke hood is a one-time emergency use personal safety device, that provides quick temporary protection from smoke in the event of a fire. In some instances, consumers purchased the smoke hoods for protection from tear gas or chemical warfare agents, but the smoke hoods should be used only to provide protection from smoke caused by fires.

IF LEFT UNREPAIRED, THE INADEQUATELY TIGHTENED SCREWS COULD LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE. LIKEWISE, ANY FOREIGN MATERIALS WHICH MAY BE LOOSE INSIDE THE STEERING BOX ASSEMBLY MAY LEAD TO STEERING FAILURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

The internal battery cell connections may slip and result in arcing and overheating, posing a fire or thermal burn hazard.

Pieces of the candles' wick can fall off while burning and the wick can re-ignite after extinguishing, posing a burn and fire hazard.

The ballast (the electrical part located in the arm of the lamp) in these lamps can overheat, short-circuit, and melt the insulating cover of the ballast, causing the lamp to fail and posing a skin burn hazard to consumers.

The buttons on the garment are sewn on too loosely, creating a danger of them falling off or being easily pulled off, which poses a potential choking hazard to young children.

The legs of the chicken and duck figures may detach, posing a risk of choking.

The middle lid support hinge can collapse suddenly and cause an injury to a child's head, neck, fingers, or hands; or can become an entrapment hazard to young children.

The Big Red Wagon has four rubber wheels that include plastic rims that may break and explode under pressure, when being inflated. Parts of the wheel and the tire can strike and injure anyone nearby.

The plastic air intake chamber of the air-powered toy planes can burst, throwing plastic pieces, posing a laceration, bruise and abrasion hazard to consumers.

The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece, and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.

The steering wheel can break away from its base, allowing the small plastic turn signal and horn pieces to come off, posing a choking hazard to young children.

The leg holes in the seat of the float can tear, causing children to unexpectedly fall into the water and, possibly, drown.

The motors on the cotton candy machines can jam and overheat, posing a fire hazard. Additionally, the heating unit can be activated without the spinner in place, presenting a risk of burn to consumers.

When the seat is used as a carrier, the plastic handle can unexpectedly release from the carrying position. When this happens, an unrestrained infant can fall to the ground and suffer injuries.

The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. When the grill is lit at the air intake tube, it will appear to function normally, though gas inside the air intake tube will ignite. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In earlier, but similar products sold by a different firm, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube has damaged the plastic support piece, and caused the grill to fall to the ground. Flames from the lit grill can burn nearby consumers when it collapses and ignite surrounding combustibles.

These gas valves could stick in the open position, allowing gas to flow freely, which poses a risk of serious injury to consumers, from fire and explosion during an earthquake.
