Homeowner product recalls

The top step/standing platform can break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

If dropped, the fire extinguishers may rupture causing a sudden release of the propellant and possibly causing personal injury.

The fuel delivery valve may crack and leak diesel fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.

Carbon monoxide can accumulate in the vehicle cab when the engine is idling and the vehicle is not moving, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning.

The replacement battery pack can explode unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury to consumers.

The chairs can break during normal use, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The front upper horizontal panel on the bunk beds can crack or break, posing a risk of injury to the consumer.

The ceiling fan's hanger bracket can spread apart due to heat from the motor and/or out-of-balance operation, causing the fan to fall from the ceiling. This poses a risk of injury to bystanders.

When the chair support bar is not fully engaged, the chair poses a fall hazard to a consumer who sits in the partially engaged chair.

The chair cannot support the stated weight capacity. This poses a collapse hazard to consumers.

The coffee pot handle can break, causing cuts and burns to the consumer.

Metal fatigue can cause the handlebar to break away during use, posing a risk of laceration from exposed metal surfaces or other injury from a fall.

During use, the slide can deflate, allowing the user to hit the ground underneath the slide and become injured. The slide is also unstable and can topple over in both still and windy conditions and carries inadequate warnings and instructions.

Bearings supporting the riding mower's deck can fail and cause the deck to interfere with the operator's controls, resulting in a crash hazard.

The two 60-watt light bulbs included with the ceiling fans exceed the fan's maximum wattage, which can cause the ceiling fans to overheat or fail. This poses fire and shock hazards to consumers.

The Slalom Glider is a playground slide that lacks a transition platform on the top and sides on the chute. Children can fall when moving from the ladder to the slide and when descending the chute.

An unstable connection can cause the water heater's vent collar to separate or detach if pressure is applied. A detached vent collar poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to the consumer.

The replacement battery pack can explode unexpectedly, posing a risk of serious injury to consumers.

When the CO detectors reach the end of their useful life, they should send a signal to make a sound in the home alarm panel alerting consumers it is time to replace them and a signal to ADT's alarm monitoring center. Some of the detectors were not wired properly to the ADT alarm system, resulting in the sound not going off in the home alarm panel and no signal to the ADT alarm monitoring center at the end of its useful life. Not replacing a CO detector at the end its useful life poses a CO poisoning hazard to consumers.

The pump cover is not properly grounded posing an electrical shock hazard.

The pourable gel fuel can ignite unexpectedly to the consumer and expel onto people and objects nearby when it is poured into a firepot that is still burning. This hazard can occur if the consumer does not see the flame or is not aware that the firepot is still ignited. Gel fuel that expels and ignites can pose fire and burn risks to consumers that can be fatal.

Some fuel tanks allow leakage at the fuel cap, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

The fuel hose clamp can detach from the fuel filter and allow gas to leak out, posing a fire hazard.

Hardware used to hold the brake assembly to the transmission housing can break. This can cause the brakes to fail, posing an injury hazard due to loss of control.

The wood in the posts of the fort sections on the swing sets can weaken due to rotting, posing a fall hazard.

The hazard labels attached to the batteries used on the generators are printed in Japanese instead of English. As a result, consumers handling the battery may not be able to adequately avoid risks associated with the batteries.

Children behind the futon or in the ladder area of the bunk bed can get entrapped when the futon and its metal frame are lowered from the seated to the flat position. Also, the space between the last rung on the bunk bed's ladder and the futon mattress is too small, which can allow a child's body to pass through, but not the head, posing a head and neck entrapment hazard.

The recalled drain covers were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water through the cover, which could pose a possible entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers.
