Homeowner product recalls

The carburetor can fail allowing fuel to leak, posing a fire hazard.

The pressurized cylinders in the recalled fire extinguishers could lose pressure and fail to operate. In the event of a fire, this failure could put a consumer and property at risk.

Incomplete/incorrect light bulb installation can result in electrical arcing in the fixture, which can pose a fire hazard to consumers.

Children can fall or land on these dive sticks in shallow water and suffer impalement injuries. Eye and other facial injuries are also possible.

Overexposure to fumes, vapor or spray mist from the product can pose a serious respiratory hazard to consumers.

The two-piece fuel tanks on the riding mowers can separate at the seam, causing fuel to leak. This can pose fire and burn hazards to consumers.

The generator's fuel valve can be damaged by the cover plate during shipment and cause a fuel leak and fuel spillage during use, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

The automatic gas vent damper could fail, and if the blocked vent switch does not activate, the vent could leak carbon monoxide (CO). This poses a risk of CO poisoning to consumers.

The jack lifts can have threads stripping or the nuts breaking, resulting in the shaft slipping and the mower falling from its stand-up position. This could cause serious personal injury to the consumer or property damage.

The pressure switch could have an internal defect that could fail to shut down the boilers under vent or air inlet blockage. This switch defect could allow the boilers to produce excessive levels of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers.

The lawn mower's rear shield can break off allowing debris to be thrown toward the operator, which poses a laceration hazard to consumers.

The recalled alarms can sound a "double chirp"/fault alarm in the presence of CO, prior to going into full alarm. Upon hearing a double chirp, the Owner's Manual instructions recommend a consumer take the alarm out of service, which could expose consumers to hazardous levels of CO and suffer injury or death.

If there is a leak in the vent piping, the recalled boilers can leak carbon monoxide (CO) into the buildings in which they are installed, posing a risk of CO poisoning.

If there is a leak in the vent piping, the recalled boilers can leak carbon monoxide (CO) into the buildings in which they are installed, posing a risk of CO poisoning.

The cutting blades continue to rotate when the mower is lifted from the ground and the spacing on the side of the lawn mower could allow room for a consumer's foot to go beyond the shield and be struck by the blade. Both instances pose a serious laceration hazard to consumers.

The water heater's flue gas temperatures can exceed safe limits and produce excessive temperatures in the venting unit, posing a fire hazard. Also, the water heater's exhaust can leak into the surrounding room, posing a carbon monoxide hazard.

One of the components of the composite cleaner can react with metal foil residue on the packaging, releasing heat and chlorine gas. This poses a fire and inhalation hazard to consumers.

The hot tub's spa control can overheat, posing a fire hazard.

A gasket in the unit can fail, posing a risk of poisonous carbon monoxide gas leaking into the home.

The extension or "fly" section can fail to lock, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The cutting blades could rotate under power when the control lever is released. The lawn mowers do not comply with mandatory federal safety standards for lawn mowers. The spinning blade poses a serious laceration hazard to consumers.

The harnesses could fail during use, resulting in a hunter falling from the tree stand and suffering serious injuries or death.

An electrical component in the toaster can overheat and ignite the circuit board, posing a fire hazard.

Due to a manufacturing defect, a crack can occur in the fuel tank causing a fuel leak. If gasoline leaking from the fuel tank is ignited, a fire or explosion can occur.

Surface paints on the wagon and handle contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The elastic tongue of the fish can break and forcefully come out and cut the users' hands during launching of the toy.

The chair can collapse when weight is applied to the front end of the arm rests, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The ladder stands can become unstable while in use, causing the user to fall. The addition of one ladder section to the stand makes the platform further away from the bracing. When the stand is at its full height, the distance between the bracing and the platform may result in platform instability prior to attachment to and/or detachment from the tree.

A weld can break causing the handlebar to detach. This can cause the rider to lose control and fall from the scooter.

IF THE CIRCUITS REMAIN ENERGIZED BEYOND THE DESIGNED PERIOD, THE PREHEATER ELEMENT CAN OVER HEAT POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FIRE IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
