Consumer product recalls

The lithium-ion battery can overheat, posing a fire hazard.

The alarms can fail to alert consumers to the presence of a hazardous level of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or death. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas.

The rattle's legs can break off, posing a choking hazard to young children.

The locking mechanism can fail allowing access to the contents inside the chest, posing a risk of poisoning.

Brake hoses with missing labels may not be identified in the event of a safety recall, potentially resulting in an unremedied safety issue and an increased risk of a crash or injury.

A fractured drive pinion may contact the brake drop hose and unintentionally engage the parking brake, without detection or without activating brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

A high pressure fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

A damaged power cable or diesel fuel hose can cause an electrical short-circuit or fuel leak. Output inductor contact with the frame can cause an electrical arc. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a fire.

When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either intentionally by younger children or accidentally by older children, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or to another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

Federal regulations require bicycles with seat heights that measure at or below 25 inches to be equipped with foot brakes. These bicycles are equipped only with hand brakes and can pose a crash hazard or a risk of injury to young children who might not be able to stop the bicycles using handbrakes only.

The ATVs fail to comply with the requirements of the federal mandatory ATV safety standard. The B125 ATVs exceed the maximum speed limitations for vehicles intended for children aged 10 and older. For the Madix 110, the parking brakes do not prevent the movement of the vehicle. In addition, the handlebars on both ATVs pose a laceration hazard should the rider's body or head impact the handlebars at a high rate of speed such as in a crash. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety requirements pose a risk of serious injury or death.

The bicycle helmets do not comply with the positional stability and retention system requirements of the U.S. CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.

The recalled helmets do not comply with the U.S. CPSC federal safety standard for bicycle helmets, posing a risk of head injury in a fall.

Broken spokes can cause wheel failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Loose wiring can cause an electrical arc or short, increasing the risk of a fire.

A helmet that does not provide adequate impact protection increases the risk of injury during a crash.

A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

The water immersion heater can overheat, melt or catch fire, posing shock, electrocution and fire hazards.

The recalled over-the-counter products contain regulated substances (aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen) which must be in child resistant packaging when being used in the household as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging of the products is not child resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either intentionally by younger children or accidentally by older children, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or to another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

Cracked wheel spokes may damage the tires, causing a loss of vehicle control, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Bottles labeled as Shop Pro RV & Marine Antifreeze were improperly filled with a product containing methanol. These improperly filled bottles do not have the mandatory cautionary label for products containing methanol warnings, including that the vapors are harmful and the product can be fatal or cause blindness if swallowed. Also, the directions on the bottle for properly flushing a potable water system can fail to adequately remove the methanol, presenting a risk of ingestion. Products containing methanol pose a poisoning hazard through inhalation or if ingested.

The wheels and wheel attachment hardware can detach from the walker in small pieces, posing a choking hazard to young children.

There are loose components in the mirror's bulb sockets, which can lead to overcurrent and overheating, posing fire and shock hazards.

The crank arm can disengage and cause the bicycle's rider to lose control, posing fall and injury hazards.

When opened for the first time, pressure build up in the bottle can cause the cap and underlying seal to pop off with force, posing an injury hazard.

Difficulty steering, or a loss of steering control, can increase the risk of a crash.

Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.

An ESC malfunction indicator light that fails to illuminate during an electronic stability control problem, can increase the risk of a crash.

The vehicle's intake funnel band screw can loosen and enter the engine through the intake funnel and cause sudden engine failure. If this occurs, it could result in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
