CPSC, Warns That Old Servel Gas Refrigerators Still In Use Can Be Deadly
Company Phone Number: (800) 782-7431 July 22, 1998 Release # 98-145 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Government safety experts continue to warn consumers to stop using Servel gas refrigerators manufactured between 1933 and 1957 due to the risk of carbon monoxide leakage in deadly quantities. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports there have been at least 39 incidents in the U.S. involving these old Servel gas refrigerators, causing 22 carbon monoxide-related deaths and 55 injuries nationwide. There also have been incidents reported in Ontario, Canada, causing 60 deaths.Because historical sales and distribution records of these early Servel models are unavailable, it is not possible to determine who still owns and uses these refrigerators. The Servels continue to be used in hunting cabins, vacation cottages and remote areas of the nation where there is no electricity, or where gas is the preferred energy source. Over a period of time, especially if the refrigerator has not been used recently, the gas burner can be fouled by dust, dirt, rust or other obstructions. Any gas refrigerator with an improperly adjusted or partially plugged burner can produce substantial amounts of carbon monoxide.Consumers can call the Servel Corrective Action Committee (SCAC) toll free at (800) 782-7431 anytime to receive a rebate package that includes instructions for disposing of their Servel gas refrigerator. Consumers who properly dispose of their old Servels will receive a $100 rebate plus reimbursement for reasonable disposal costs. Since this recall program was launched in 1990, more than 22,000 refrigerators have been destroyed. On average, 100 new requests for rebates are mailed to SCAC monthly, demonstrating that there are still many more in use. Consumers who insist on keeping their old Servel refrigerators should move them to an outdoor shelter, shed or garage not connected to the house or cottage. CPSC urges owners to secure or restrict access to refrigerators kept outside and, when discarding any refrigerator, to remove its door. This will prevent children from playing in the refrigerator and possibly getting trapped and suffocating inside.CPSC advises that all gas refrigerators be serviced regularly by licensed technicians in order to assure their safe operation. They also should be inspected after they are moved and before they are turned on after a seasonal shutdown. Special attention should be paid to blockages in burners and flues. No longer in business, Servel manufactured gas refrigerators between 1933 and 1957. The Servel refrigerators in question are no longer being produced and are in no way associated with the Dometic Corp., the current manufacturer of Servel brand name products

Action to Improve Safety of Halogen Torchiere Floor Lamps
Action to Improve Safety of Halogen Torchiere Floor Lamps NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 Note: change in instructions and contact information for obtaining wire guard FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ken Giles Originally issued August 21, 1997, Last revised April 8, 2004 (301) 504-7052 Release # 97-173 CPSC and Industry Announce Corrective Action to Improve Safety of Halogen Torchiere Floor Lamps WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the halogen lamp industry are cooperatively recalling for in-home consumer repair some 40 million halogen torchiere floor lamps. According to CPSC, the halogen bulbs in these lamps can cause fires. CPSC is aware of at least 189 fires and 11 deaths since 1992 involving halogen torchiere floor lamps. The industry is making free wire guards available to consumers through a cooperative effort with many retail stores. Installing the wire guard over the glass bulb shield will reduce the potential fire hazard by making it harder for flammable materials to touch the lamp's halogen bulb. For the guard to be effective, consumers must use only halogen bulbs of 300 watts or less in the lamp. Halogen torchiere floor lamps are free-standing lamps with a shallow bowl-shaped light fixture mounted on top of a 6-foot pole and illuminated by a tubular halogen bulb. These lamps first became available in the United States in 1983 and sales have grown significantly in the 1990s. The tubular halogen bulbs operate at temperatures much hotter than regular bulbs, and can pose a fire risk if curtains, clothing, or other flammable materials contact the bulb. A revised Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standard for halogen torchiere floor lamps manufactured after February 5, 1997, offers an improved level of safety. Most halogen torchiere floor lamps meeting the revised UL standard already are equipped with a glass or wire guard over the glass bulb shield to help prevent flammable materials from touching the bulb. Consumers who own halogen torchiere floor lamps without a glass or wire guard over the glass bulb shield can receive a free wire guard with installation instructions by calling (800) 523-5702 extension 592 or sending postcard to Attention Consumer Services, 18191 NW 68th Avenue, Miami, FL 33015. This program only applies to torchiere floor lamps using halogen bulbs. Remember, for the guard to be effective, consumers must use only halogen bulbs of 300 watts or less in the lamp. "Although the use of the wire guard with a 300-watt bulb will reduce the potential fire hazard, it is important for consumers to understand that these lamps still must be treated with care," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. Brown offered the following safety tips for halogen torchiere floor lamps: Never place the lamp near curtains or other cloth window treatments. Never drape clothes over the lamp. Keep the lamp away from bedding. Never leave the lamp on when you leave a room or are not at home. To reduce the likelihood of tipover, keep children and pets away from the lamp. Only use a halogen bulb of 300 watts or less in the lamp. In 1996, CPSC initiated an assessment of the current UL safety standard for portable lamps, including lamps equipped with tubular halogen bulbs. Tests carried out as part of this assessment showed that tubular halogen bulbs of 250 watts, 300 watts, and 500 watts installed in torchiere lamps could start a fire if they come in contact with flammable materials. In July 1996, CPSC announced its findings and issued a warning to consumers about the potential fire hazard associated with using torchiere floor lamps illuminated by tubular halogen bulbs. In the same month, CPSC urged UL to toughen its performance standard for portable lamps. In February 1997, UL adopted a revised performance standard for halogen torchiere floor lamps. Consumers ca

Riders can be seriously injured or killed if their long hair or clothing becomes entangled in the rotating rear axle. Since July 1996, CPSC and two manufacturers have announced recalls for repair of about 305,000 go-karts with this entanglement hazard. The manufacturers participating in this recall have identified other go-karts with this same hazard. Since July 1996, CPSC has received reports of one child who died and two children who were seriously injured in go-karts. The go-karts involved in these incidents were recalled by another manufacturer last year. CPSC has also received one report in which an adult alleges that she was seriously injured when her hair became entangled in the rotating rear axle of a T&D Metal Products go-kart. The one- and two-seat go-karts are powered by gasoline engines. All go-karts with an exposed rear axle are involved in this repair program. To determine whether the rear axle is exposed, consumers should stand behind the go-kart, with the engine off, and push the go-kart by hand. If consumers can see the axle connecting the two rear wheels rotating, the go-kart is subject to this repair program.

Garage Door Openers Recall by Chamberlain Group
Garage Door Openers Recall by Chamberlain Group NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ken Giles May 5, 1997 (301) 504-7052 Release # 97-116 CPSC, Chamberlain Group Announce Recall to Repair Garage Door Openers in Puerto Rico Washington, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), The Chamberlain Group Inc. of Elmhurst, Ill., is announcing a recall to inspect and repair about 6,000 Sears Craftsman garage door openers used on swinging or sliding garage doors in Puerto Rico that were not installed by a Sears authorized installer. If installed improperly, the garage door openers' safety reversal system may not operate properly, posing a potential entrapment hazard. The Chamberlain Group is aware of a 4-year old boy in Puerto Rico who died from being caught in a swinging door operated by a Sears Craftsman garage door opener when the safety reversing sensor did not operate. This inspection/repair program is limited to Puerto Rico, where swinging or sliding doors are used extensively. The program does not apply to overhead doors. The program is further limited to those swinging or sliding garage door openers that have not been installed by Sears authorized installers and, therefore, may have been installed improperly. When improperly installed, the swinging or sliding garage doors will not reverse when they hit an obstruction such as a car or a child. The garage door openers have model numbers beginning with 139.65XXX and 139.53XXX located on the right side panel of the opener chassis near the force adjustment controls. Sears stores throughout Puerto Rico sold the garage door openers from 1980 through 1993 for about $150 to $220. Sears is sending letters to all customers in Puerto Rico known to have purchased the garage door opener. Consumers who purchased these door openers for swinging or sliding doors, but did not have them installed by a Sears authorized installer should test the garage door opener's safety reversal system according to instructions in the Owner's Manual. Consumers should allow the door to close on the narrow side of a 2-inch by 4-inch piece of wood held in its path. Consumers should not place themselves in the path of the swinging or sliding door! If the door does not reverse within two seconds of touching the piece of wood, disconnect the garage door opener and immediately contact Sears toll-free at 800-473-7247. Sears will arrange for an inspection and, if necessary, rework of the installation free of charge. Chamberlain and Sears remind consumers to follow safety instructions in the Owner's Manual to check the safety reversal system monthly. If you adjust the force or travel limit controls, you must check the safety reversal system again. CPSC knows of approximately 60 children between the ages of 2 and 14 who were trapped and killed under overhead automatic garage doors since March 1982. No matter what type of garage door you own, CPSC reminds consumers to always operate the garage door opener only when the door is in full view and free from any obstruction. Keep the door in sight until it is completely closed. No one should cross the path of the moving door.

Mattel will offer consumers a full cash refund of $40. At the same time, the company announced a withdrawal of the product from all retail shelves across the U.S., and will discontinue the distribution of the Snacktime Kids dolls. Mattel is taking this action following reports of people getting their hair and fingers caught in the mouths of the dolls. Neither Mattel's nor CPSC's testing of the product has identified a serious safety hazard associated with the dolls. "Nonetheless, we remain deeply concerned with the satisfaction of all our consumers and in maintaining their long-standing confidence in the safety and value of our toys," said Jill E. Barad, Mattel's chief executive officer. "Our job is to bring joy to children's lives. If any of our products are causing concerns, we are committed to responding in a responsible manner." "We recognize that these incidents can be upsetting to children and adults, and we are pleased with the actions being taken by Mattel," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. According to Mattel, since the birth of Cabbage Patch Kids in 1983, more than 80 million dolls have been "adopted" by children throughout the world, and their unique individual features and representation of all races and ethnicities has established the dolls as one of the most beloved toys in history. To date, approximately 500,000 Cabbage Patch Kids Snacktime Kids dolls have been sold to consumers. "This voluntary program serves as a reconfirmation of our commitment to the children who enjoy Cabbage Patch Kids and all the people who, for more than 50 years, have helped make our many toys the most popular in the world," said Barad. To receive a $40 refund, which includes estimated shipping and handling costs, consumers can call Mattel at (800) 524-8697, Mondays through Friday's from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.
500-Watt Halogen Bulbs Recall/Replace by Tensor
500-Watt Halogen Bulbs Recall/Replace by Tensor NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ken Giles December 9, 1996 (301) 504-7052 Release # 97-038 CPSC and Tensor Corp. Announce Recall to Replace 500-Watt Halogen Bulbs WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Tensor Corporation of Chelsea, Mass., is voluntarily recalling approximately 100,000 500-watt tubular halogen bulbs sold in 50,000 torchiere-style lamps. The bulbs may shatter during use, presenting a fire hazard when hot fragments of the shattered bulb land on nearby combustible materials, such as furniture, bedding, newspaper or carpet. Tensor is aware of 281 incidents of bulbs shattering resulting in at least six burn injuries and some small fires. Three fires resulted in more than $25,000 in damage. The halogen torchiere floor lamps, measuring 71 inches tall, have a round base, a three part pole, and a shallow, bowl-shaped shade. A small round switch located on the lamp's pole enables consumers to adjust the bulb's brightness. The model number "LT609N" or "LT609P" and a manufacturing plant code appear on stickers on the bottom of the lamp base. Montgomery Ward and Electric Ave. & More stores sold the lamps nationwide from October 1995 through April 1996 for about $20. Each lamp was packaged with one installed bulb and some were sold with a second replacement bulb. The affected bulbs were manufactured in China. Tensor lamps sold before October 1995 are not included in this bulb recall, and lamps sold after April 1996 contain the 300-watt replacement bulbs. Consumers should immediately discard the affected 500-watt bulbs. Consumers should retrieve the date of purchase, the model number, and manufacturing code from the bottom of the lamp base, then call Tensor's Customer Service toll-free number at (888) 564-4424. After verifying that the caller's lamp contains an affected bulb, Tensor will provide a free 300-watt tubular halogen replacement bulb for each 500-watt bulb included with the lamp. Earlier this year, Tensor and Montgomery Ward initiated a replacement program for 500-watt bulbs in response to the withdrawal of Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) listing of torchiere floor lamps equipped with 500-watt bulbs because of their flammability potential. Thousands of consumers have already received their free 300-watt replacement bulb. No further action is needed by consumers who participated in this earlier replacement program. While Tensor is replacing 500-watt bulbs with 300-watt bulbs, CPSC warns that most halogen torchiere lamp bulbs, which burn at very high temperatures, can start a fire if they come in contact with curtains, clothes, or other flammable material. Although replacing 500-watt bulbs with 300-watt bulbs will decrease the chance of the bulbs shattering, consumers should still keep the 300-watt bulbs away from combustibles in order to avoid fires.

December 26, 1995 Release # 96-056 WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Astro-Lounger Furniture Manufacturing Company Inc., of Houkla, Miss., is recalling approximately 1,000 recliner chairs.

CPSC, Coville Inc. Announce Recall Of Garments Made From A Flammable Fleece Fabric
February 28, 1995 Release # 95-087 WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC and Coville Incorporated are announcing the recall of dangerously flammable garments made from a fleece-type fabric. An estimated 160,000 garments ranging from sweatshirts to skirts are involved in the recall.The fabric, which fails to meet federal mandatory standards of fabric flammability, presents a serious risk of burn injuries and violates the 1953 Federal Flammable Fabrics Act. Fabrics that do not comply with the standard typically burn faster than newspaper.Neither CPSC nor Coville has received any reports of injuries involving garments made from the fabric. However, there have been four reported incidents where garments made from the fabric "flashed" or surface-burned very quickly. The fabric is a polyester-cotton blend material with a raised fiber surface. Its fleecy texture closely mimics that of an inside-out sweatshirt. The fabric was used to manufacture clothes under 45 different brand names (see attached list). CPSC and Coville Inc. are working with manufacturers and retailers to recall garments made from this fabric and sold across the country after May 1, 1994. Most of the garments - an estimated 70 percent - are sweatshirts, hooded pullovers, casual shirts and other types of tops. Pants, shorts, vests, dresses, robes and skirts that contain the fabric were also sold. About 12 percent of the items are children's wear, excluding children's sleepwear. "Fleece garments are extremely popular today, and most of them are in full compliance with the law," said Ann Brown, CPSC chairman. "But those that aren't must be taken off the market.""Coville's cooperative effort with CPSC is another fine example of industry working voluntarily with government." Thousands of retailers who sold garments made from the fabric have posted signs in their stores urging customers to return the garments for a full refund. Macy's, Express Inc.(a division of The Limited), Capezio, Kohl's, Marianne, Jean Nicole and Stuart's are among the retailers cooperating in the recall. Other retailers include specialized boutiques, surf shops and some hotel gift shops. CPSC urges consumers who suspect they may have purchased a garment made from the fleece fabric to immediately stop wearing it and contact or visit their retailer to see if the garment is subject to the recall. Retailers should know whether the garments are a part of the recall and should then provide a refund. In addition, consumers who have questions about the recall can call CPSC's toll-free hotline at (800) 638-2772. The hearing and speech impaired can call (301) 595-7054. Any fleece or partly fleece garment sold under the following brand names may be involved in this recall:26 Red - label no.

November 25, 1994 Release # 95-027 WASHINGTON, D.C. CPSC, Gilbert Manufacturing Co. of Long Island City, N.Y., is warning owners of its Christmas and seasonal light sets that a potential fire or shock hazard may result if both latches of the fuseholder are not securely fastened. Consumers should close the fuseholder completely before plugging in the lightstring or decorative outfit. After replacing the fuse, consumers should make sure that the cord is flat in its cover channel before closing and latching the fuseholder at both ends.CPSC received two complaints that the light sets sparked and the plastic fuseholder or the plastic cord charred or melted. To date, no injuries have been reported.Since 1980, Gilbert has manufactured more than 40 million light sets with the fuseholder sold nationally by a variety of major and own label distributors including, NOMA International Inc., Beacon Electric, General Electric Co., Leco Electric, Lidco Co., Markee Products, J. Hofert Co., R.C. Co., and Plastic Assembly Corp.

The light set strings, which can have from 7 to 50 bulbs, generally have 25 of the larger C7 or C9 (candelabra or intermediate size) bulbs. Most sets have a connector that allows the consumer to attach an additional string to the lights. Miniature light sets are not involved.Each light set has a plastic Gilbert fuseholder that is 1.5-inches long, located on each light set cord about 4 to 6 inches from the plug. Each fuseholder has a hinged cover that fits over the line cord and a bottom part holding the 7 amp fuse. When properly assembled on the cord, the fuseholder cover is fastened to the bottom part by snapping down the two latches at each end of the fuseholder. One side of the fuseholder says "Fuseholder, 125V., 7A. Max, Pat Pend" and the other side says "Push Under Tabs To Open." The flap inside the fuseholder is labeled "E73208." A 7-amp fuse is included in each fuseholder.Gilbert has placed a warning label on each of its light sets manufactured and sold this year advising consumers of a risk of fire or shock if the fuseholder is not fully closed or if the cord is not lying flat in its channel. Gilbert is also offering the warning label information free to consumers who have previously purchased the light sets. Consumers are urged to call the Gilbert Manufacturing Co. toll free at (800) 899-7584 to receive one or more free labels as a permanent reminder of the potential fire hazard and for information about the light sets. Gilbert will mail consumers their requested labels with instructions for safer lights. Consumers should not use their light sets until they review the instructions on the label

Although Gerry has received 4 reports from consumers alleging tip over and 4 claims that the suction cups separated from the SplashSeat, none of the incidents involved any injury. Gerry and the CPSC are conducting this voluntary corrective action to prevent the possibility of injury
Designers Edge Recalls Halogen Clamp Lights; Potential Shock Hazard
March 22, 1994 Release # 94-048 PRODUCT: "Mighty Lite" halogen clamp lights imported by Designers Edge, Inc. About 1,500 clamp lights sold at Northern California Yardbirds stores and 500 clamp lights sold at 182 Sears stores nationwide beginning in July 1993 through August 1993. The yellow clamp lights have a black hook and handle and spring loaded clamp base with yellow vinyl grips. The handle is labeled "the Designers EDGE." At the back of the lamphead molded into the metal is the phrase: "SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATION MISC. FIXTURE QH-250N 1G96." PROBLEM: A potential shock hazard is present on certain lamps. When used without the hook, the lamp rotates 180 degrees to a backward position causing tension on the wires inside the switch junction box. This can cause the wires to chafe and short circuit, posing a shock hazard. WHAT TO DO: If you purchased a Designers Edge clamp light from Sears, immediately stop using the lamp and return it to Sears for a full refund. If you purchased a clamp light from a Yardbirds store, check for a date code on the lamp cord. If a date code is not marked, immediately stop using the clamp light and return it to Yardbirds for a full refund or replacement lamp. Yardbirds lamps marked with a date code are not affected by this recall. For further information please call Designers Edge on 1-800-524-6808. WASHINGTON, DC -- CPSC, Designers Edge, Inc., Bellevue. WA, is voluntarily recalling the "Mighty Lite" halogen clamp light. When used without the hook, the lamp rotates 180 degrees to a backward position causing tension on the wires at the pivot point between the handle and lamphead. This can cause the wires in the junction box to chafe, energizing the metal components of the clamp light with 120 volts of electricity, posing a shock hazard.The yellow clamp lights have a black hook and handle and spring loaded clamp base with yellow vinyl grips. The handle is labeled "the Designers EDGE." At the back of the lamphead molded into the metal is the phrase: "SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATION MISC. FIXTURE QH-250N 1G96."About 1,500 clamp lights were sold at Northern California Yardbirds stores and 500 clamp lights were sold at 180 Sears stores nationally beginning in July 1993 through August 1993. The retail price was $19.99. The nine Northern California Yardbirds stores that sold the product are located in: Santa Rosa, Petaluma, San Rafael, Alamo, Vallejo, San Pablo, Rohnert Park, Vacaville, and Fairfield. Designers Edge learned of the problem when a Sears El Paso store reported electrical leakage from a clamp lamp on display. The lamp hook had been removed allowing the lamphead to pivot. It was determined that a small amount of wire was exposed from abrasion inside the junction portion of the lamp. Designers Edge subsequently reported the incident to the Commission. If you purchased a Designers Edge clamp light from Sears, immediately stop using the lamp and return it to Sears for a full refund. If you purchased a clamp light from a Yardbirds store, check for a July 1993 or later date code marked on the lamp cord. If a date code is not marked, immediately stop using the clamp light and return it to Yardbirds for a full refund or replacement lamp. Clamp lights marked with date codes are not affected by this recall. They contain insulated wiring in the junction box and do not present a shock hazard. For further information please call Designers Edge on 1-800-524-6808. Consumers should not attempt to repair the clamp lights themselves. CPSC is announcing this recall as a part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to reduce the estimated 28.6 million injuries and 21,700 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction

The products were sold in health food and nutrition stores nationwide. PROBLEM: The products were not put in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

WHAT TO DO: Consumers with any of the recalled products should immediately return the unused portion of the bottles to the stores where purchased or return the product to Solgar Co., Inc. 410 Ocean Avenue, Lynbrook, NY 11563, Attention: Recall, for a complete refund of the purchase price plus postage.

The products being recalled include all sized bottles of Solgar brand "Natural Amino Acid Chelated Iron," " Gentle Iron Vegicaps," "Hematinic Formula," "Prenatal Nutrients," and "Trace Elements." These five iron-containing products were not put in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The lack of child-resistant packaging means that a child could easily access and accidentally swallow the iron tablets or capsules. Each bottle of the recalled products contains enough iron that, if consumed by a child at one time, could cause serious illness or death. The five recalled products were sold in brown glass bottles with yellow screw-on metal caps. Each product comes in several package sizes ranging from 50 to 1000 tablets or capsules per bottle. The bottles' paper labels read, in part: - "NATURAL AMINO ACID CHELATED* IRON . . . Sugar, Salt and Starch Free . . . VEGETARIAN FORMULA . . . 100 [or 250, 500, 1000] TABLETS . . .

VEGETARIAN FORMULA . . . 50 [or 100, 250] TABLETS . . . Each tablet provides: Iron (Hydrolyzed Protein Chelate) . . . 18 mg, 100% U.S. RDA." All of the bottles also carry the statement "Manufactured by The Solgar Vitamin Co. Inc., Lynbrook, NY 11563, U.S.A." This recall does not include any other products manufactured by Solgar which contain iron, nor does it include any of the above products packaged with the child-resistant white plastic "push-and-turn caps." Approximately 17,500 bottles of the five recalled iron products were sold to consumers through retail health food and nutrition stores nationwide between January 1, 1993 and mid-April 1993. These products were manufactured and sold by Solgar Co. Inc. for several years. Consumers should immediately return the unused portions of any bottles of the recalled iron products (including bottles which were purchased before January 1, 1993) to the stores where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Or, consumers can return the recalled products directly to: Solgar Co., Inc., 410 Ocean Avenue, Lynbrook, NY 11563, Attention: Recall. Consumers will receive a refund, including shipping costs. Neither Solgar Co., Inc. nor the Commission is aware of any poisoning incidents due to the Solgar brand iron tablets or capsules. However, the Commission is aware of several ingestions and at least 11 deaths in 1991 from other iron-containing products, as reported by the National Association of Poison Control Centers. CPSC became aware of the packaging problem as a result of its ongoing poison prevention packaging inspection program. CPSC enforces the requirement that any dietary supplement containing an equivalent of 250 mg or more of iron per package must have child-resistant packaging. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's mission is to reduce the estimated 28.6 million injuries and 21,700 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction

Electric "Worm Getter" Worm Probe Recalled By Six Retailers; Electrocution Hazard Cited
June 1, 1993 Release # 93-075 PRODUCT: Approximately 83,000 electric WG6-S and WG8-L "Worm Getter" worm probes, manufactured by Handy Marketing Company. The probes are used by fishermen to shock fishing worms to the soil's surface. The probes have a single energized metal rod, enclosed in a white plastic, spring- activated guard on one end and a black plastic bicycle grip on the other end. The affected probes were sold by Kmart, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Fishing Hot Spots, the Sportsman's Guide, and Gander Mountain. PROBLEM: CPSC is aware of more than 30 deaths involving functionally-identical worm probes. Consumers have been electrocuted by contacting the exposed metal shafts and shocked by touching the ground in the vicinity of the probe. WHAT TO DO: Owners of affected worm probes should stop using the product and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you purchased a probe from a retailer not listed, contact the company and inform CPSC at 1-800-638-2772 to help identify other possible retailers. If you are not sure where the probe was purchased, you are advised to destroy the probe. WASHINGTON, DC -- CPSC, six retailers today announced the recall of WG6-S and WG8-L electric "Worm Getter" worm probe models due to the potential electric shock and electrocution hazard. Approximately 83,000 worm probes were manufactured by the Handy Marketing Company, Grand Rapids, MI and sold from 1980 through 1992. The worm probes sold for about $11 to $28 each. Electric worm probes are used by fishermen to shock fishing worms to the soil surface. The WG6-S and WG8-L electric Worm Getter models have a single energized metal rod. The probes are energized by household electricity at line voltage, typically 110 to 120 volts alternating current. The metal rod of the probe is designed to be inserted into the ground with one or more extension cords connecting it to an electrical receptacle. The Handy Marketing Company is now out of business and is unable to participate in this recall. The six identified retailers of these worm probes include: the Kmart Corporation, Troy, MI which only sold model WG6-S; Cabela's, Inc., Sidney, NE which only sold model WG8-L; Bass Pro Shops, Inc., Springfield, MO which sold both models; Gander Mountain, Inc., Wilmot, WI which only sold model WG8-L; the Sportsman's Guide, Eagan, MN which sold both models; and Fishing Hot Spots, Rhinelander, WI which only sold model WG8-L. With the exception of Kmart, the other listed retailers sold worm probes mostly by mail-order catalog. CPSC is aware that other unidentified retailers may have also sold these worm probes. No electric shock or electrocution incidents have been reported involving these worm probes. CPSC is aware of more than 30 deaths, however, involving functionally identical worm probes. Consumers have been electrocuted from other worm probes by contacting the exposed metal shafts and have reportedly been shocked by touching the ground in the vicinity of the probe. Although these electric worm probes have no identifiable markings, they are distinctive in other ways. Both models have a 7/8-inch diameter white plastic, spring activated guard or sheath that encloses the rod at one end and a black plastic bicycle grip handle at the other end. The WG6-S model is 21 inches long and the WG8-L model is 26 inches long. At the end of the handle for both models is an eight-to-nine-inch power cord and plug. The WG6-S model has a two-prong plug and the WG8-L model has a three- prong plug with an indicator light in the handle. Also, both units were sold with a red end cap fitted over the probe, which must be removed to use the product. Owners of the electric "Worm Getter" should stop using the product and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. If the WG6-S model was purchased from Kmart, for example, the owner should take the probe to any Kmart store for a refund. Owners who purchased from one of the five listed catalog companies should mail the units back to the company for a refund of the purchase price and mailing costs. Some of the catalog companies also have retail store outlets where the owners may return the units for a refund. For questions about returning the units to the listed catalog companies, owners may call the firms at the following toll-free numbers: Cabela's at 1-800-237-8888, Bass Pro Shops at 1-800-554-5488, Gander Mountain at 1-800-426-3371, The Sportman's Guide at 1-800-888-5222, and Fishing Hot Spots at 1-800-338-5957. Consumers who have purchased one of these worm probes from a retailer not identified above should contact the company and inform CPSC at 1-800-638-2772 to help identify other possible retailers. If you are not sure where the worm probe was purchased or if the retailer is out of business, you are advised to destroy the probe.

According to Coleman, the 12-volt DC battery and output plug power cord could short circuit if the protective sleeve covering the positive battery terminal is exposed and contacts the metal ring of the output plug. This could occur, for example, when the battery pack is stored inside its carrying case. Of the more than 9,000 units sold from August, 1991 to mid November, 1991, all but 789 have been located and replaced. In the company's report to CPSC, one short circuit incident occurred October 30, 1991, when a Coleman employee stored the battery pack inside its carrying case. The power cord running from the battery to the output plug overheated and melted. No fire or injury resulted. No incidents have been reported with units sold to consumers. The PowerStation II provides portable 12-volt DC electric power to electric or electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, or spotlights. These appliances must be equipped with a connector that can be plugged into a standard motor vehicle cigarette lighter socket. Consumers can identify affected units by checking the packing carton for the 5360A550 model number and the carton and black carrying case for the label "Coleman Nightsight PowerStation II 12V Rechargeable Battery Pack." In addition, the battery itself is labeled "Panasonic Rechargeable Battery LCR12V6.5PAD" or "Panasonic Rechargeable Battery LCR12V6.5P." Only the carton is labeled with the model number 5360A550.

PROBLEM: In separate incidents, three children allegedly strangled when the cube's lid fell on their necks. The cubes also pose a suffocation hazard if a young child becomes trapped inside the cube with the lid closed because the cube does not have ventilation holes.

The manufacturers of the cubes (Seward Luggage Company, Petersburg, VA; Trojan Luggage, Memphis, TN; and Mercury Luggage Manufacturing Company, Jacksonville, FL) are still attempting to notify consumers of the continued risk so the cubes can be modified. Decorator cubes manufactured after June 1990 have removable lids (no hinges) and are not subject to this warning

General Electric Intensifies Recall Of Coffeemakers That May Pose A Fire Hazard; Seeks Higher Regional Returns
FEBRUARY 4, 1992 Release # 92-050 General Electric Intensifies Recall Of Coffeemakers That May Pose A Fire Hazard; Seeks Higher Regional Returns WASHINGTON, DC -- The General Electric Company (GE), today announced that it is intensifying its recall of certain GE brand and Universal brand drip coffeemakers manufactured before April 28, 1984.GE, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), launched a voluntary recall of these units in March 1991. They want to remind consumers that these coffeemakers could represent a significant fire hazard and that consumers in many areas of the U.S. still have not returned their units.The company believes that a fire hazard may occur when a supplier's thermal fuse in the coffeemaker fails to function as intended. About nine million drip coffeemakers bearing the GE or Universal brand name were manufactured between 1976 and 1984. GE has received approximately 500 reports of coffeemakers overheating. It has been alleged that one fire caused by a fuse failure resulted in two fatalities and serious personal injury to eight other people. GE has received claims that fuse failures also may have been responsible for fires that resulted in three additional deaths and 17 personal injuries. Approximately 380 of the claims involve property damage ranging in value from $300 to $1.3 million.As an incentive, GE is offering owners $10 for each recalled unit returned. A $10 check will be mailed when a unit is received by GE. GE will give consumers with recalled coffeemakers pre-paid mailing cartons. The carton will contain instructions that will tell consumers how to arrange for convenient pick-up. This innovative method of recall is aimed at reducing consumer effort and increasing the rate of return. No units made on or after April 28, 1984 are involved in this recall. To determine the date of manufacture, check the date code number stamped on the outside metal blade of the electric plug. If the number is 418 through 600, the coffeemaker is not involved in this recall. Other GE brand and Universal brand drip coffeemakers which are not involved in the recall are: - Space Maker Drip Coffeemakers (catalog numbers that include the designations SDC1, SDC2, and SDC3) - Percolators Owners of a GE brand or Universal brand drip coffeemaker are asked to read both the catalog number on the bottom of the unit and the date code stamped on the outside of the metal blades of the electric plug. If the coffeemaker is a recalled unit, consumers should call toll-free 1-800-443-9000. The recalled coffeemakers are not repairable, and owners should unplug the unit and stop using it immediately. Consumers are being asked to check the automatic drip coffeemakers at their home and place of work. The CPSC is issuing this joint warning as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to reduce the estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction

Decorator Cube Safety Warning Reissued
OCTOBER 29, 1991 Release # 92-010 Decorator Cube Safety Warning Reissued WASHINGTON, DC -- As a result of two recently reported new deaths Seward Luggage Company of Petersburg, VA; Trojan Luggage of Memphis, TN; and Mercury Luggage Manufacturing Co. of Jacksonville, FL, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), are issuing a second warning about a strangulation and suffocation hazard associated with decorator cubes with hinged lids. The warning applies to cubes manufactured before June 30, 1990. Decorator cubes manufactured after June 30, 1990 are designed differently with removable lids that address the risk. The first warning notice was issued jointly by CPSC and the firms on March 27, 1991 following the first reported death. These cubes are 16" X 16" X 16" cubed-shaped trunks with hinged lids decorated with various scenes and motifs. The decorator cubes may be used for storage and home furnishing. The cubes present a strangulation hazard if the lid falls on the neck of a young child who is reaching into the trunk for a toy or other item. CPSC believes young children under the age of six years are at the greatest risk of injury. In addition, a young child could climb into a cube, become trapped inside and suffocate if the lid shuts. CPSC and the firms are now aware of a total of three deaths involving young children allegedly associated with these cubes. These incidents occurred from February 1990 to October 1991. Approximately 2.2 million cubes were distributed nationally by retailers, including Kmart and Walmart, between 1987 and June 30, 1990. To prevent the possibility of strangulation or suffocation: Owners should remove the metal pin (used to hold the hinge together) from each of the two hinges, thereby making the lid removable; or Owners of cubes who choose not to remove lids will be supplied with lid spacer clamps that will prevent the lid from slamming shut and a warning label to remind users of the potential hazards. CPSC urges consumers to call 1-800-766-9417 to obtain free, easily installed spacer clamps, a warning label and further information, if necessary, on the removal of the hinge pin
1,000 Gerry Strollers Recalled For Potential Brake Failure
August 29, 1991 Release # 91-116 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gerry Baby Products Company, Denver, CO, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), voluntarily recalled approximately 1,000 of its portable, umbrella-style strollers. The strollers' brakes, when locked, may not hold on an incline which could allow the strollers to roll and potentially result in an injury to a baby in the stroller. Gerry has not received any reports of injury related to this problem. The model numbers involved are: 127, 136, 166, 195 and 196. The model number and "May 1991" are located on the metal lock between the rear stroller legs. Consumers who still have the box can also identify affected strollers by the following date codes printed on the box: 1128, 1129, 1130, 1131, 1133, 1134, 1135, 1136, or 1137. No other Gerry strollers are affected by this recall. Consumers who have a Gerry stroller with both a model number listed above and "May 1991" on the metal lock should contact Evenflo's Parent Link Consumer Resource Center at (800) 233-5921 for assistance (Gerry Baby Products is out of business, but the Evenflo Company has now taken over in responding to this recall). Consumers may also call this number for assistance in identifying affected strollers. The affected strollers were sold during May and June 1991 for approximately $25 to $55 each. The strollers were sold nationwide through J.C. Penney, Pace, and Child World retail stores, and by the following companies in the areas listed: Dillard's, Gilbert, AZ; Hambilton and Carr, Tonawanda, NY; Everything Baby, Brooklyn, NY; Lechmere, Northeastern U.S.; For the Traveler, Kissimmee, FL; Nordstrom, Ontario, CA; Kiddie World, San Jose, CA; and Marines, Los Angeles, CA. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to help reduce the estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths that are associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction
P&M Worm Probes Found Hazardous; Electrocution Risk Cited In CPSC Order To Halt Manufacture And Sale Of Worm Probes
July 26, 1991 Release # 91-099 PandM Worm Probes Found Hazardous; Electrocution Risk Cited In CPSC Order To Halt Manufacture And Sale Of Worm Probes WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has determined that the "WORM GETT'RS," an electric worm probe made by PandM Enterprises of Caldwell, Idaho, presents an electrocution hazard and may no longer be produced or sold. In a lengthy decision and Order issued on July 17, 1991, the Commission unanimously upheld the decision of Administrative Law Judge Paul J. Clerman that the PandM "WORM GETT'RS" was defective. The product, which is used to shock worms out of the ground, can expose users and passers-by to a lethal dose of electricity. The worm probe draws full line voltage, 110-120 volts, to its two, six, or 12 bare metal shafts. The Commission found that by touching the exposed shafts, or even by contacting the ground in the vicinity of the probe, consumers could be shocked or electrocuted. Twenty-eight persons, most of them children, have died using "functionally equivalent" worm probes. The Commission ordered PandM to refrain from manufacturing the product, offering it for sale, distributing it, or importing it into the United States. The agency directed its staff to work with PandM to notify the public of the hazard and to warn consumers against further use of the worm probe. Because the owners of PandM have declared bankruptcy, and lack the resources to conduct a recall campaign, the Commission did not require the firm to recall the hazardous probes. PandM can elect to appeal the Commission's decision to a Federal court. The CPSC has taken this action as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The CPSC is a Federal agency responsible for consumer product safety. Some 15,000 different types of products fall under the Commission's jurisdiction and each year these products are involved in an estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths
Stop Using "Bark Buster" Auger Type Log Splitters Safety Commission Warns Consumers
April 24, 1991 Release # 91-060 Stop Using "Bark Buster" Auger Type Log Splitters Safety Commission Warns Consumers WASHINGTON, DC---Government safety experts are warning consumers to stop using "Bark Buster" brand auger-type log splitters manufactured from 1977 through 1988 because of the risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment of hands, arms and legs. These log splitters were sold nationwide for use in splitting firewood. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said there have been at least four serious injuries and one death to users of these log splitters. The injuries involved the loss of arms, legs or fingers. The CPSC originally learned of this unsafe product from a consumer complaint. These log splitters were manufactured by F. W. and Associates, Inc., Diversified Industries, Inc., Bark Buster, Inc., Isanti Engineering, Inc. and sold under the "Bark Buster" brand. They were also manufactured in gasoline engine powered, tractor engine powered and motor vehicle rear wheel powered models. The CPSC believes this serious hazard exists because these log splitters lack the following features: There is no operator accessible off/on switch. There is no "dead-man" feature provided to assure the auger stops if the operator loses control of the operations. No guard is present on the auger to prevent operator entrapment. Owners of these log splitters are urged to take measures which will make the units unuseable by unbolting, removing and discarding the auger tip assembly. These devices are no longer being made by the most recent manufacturer, Isanti Engineering, Inc., Isanti, MN. The CPSC estimates about 8,000 units were manufactured. The CPSC is issuing this warning as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The CPSC is the Federal agency responsible for product safety. Some 15,000 types of products fall within the Commission's jurisdiction and each year these products are involved in an estimated 29 million injuries and 22,000 deaths
Stanley Garage Door Openers Recalled Due To Entrapment Hazard
April 19, 1991 Release # 91-059 WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Stanley Electronics Division of The Stanley Works, located in Novi, MI, announced the recall of several models of circuit boards used in the manufacture of Stanley and Fimbel Garage Door Openers. The company believed, due to a problem with printed circuit boards used in affected garage door openers, the door may open or close without warning. This condition renders the automatic reversal safety feature inoperable. As a result, when the door closes, it will not reverse as intended upon striking a person or object. This poses a risk of injury or death if entrapment occurs. The company reported this problem to the CPSC as soon as it became apparent. The company was not aware of any injuries. The automatic garage door openers were sold nationwide between January 14, 1991 and April 11, 1991, under the names Stanley and Fimbel (under the brands of Power Lift, and EZ Lift). The openers were sold by retail stores and garage door opener installers and dealers across the United States. While the majority of affected units were stopped in inventory, some 5,000 defective openers may be in consumers' possession. Brand names, model designations and date codes are as follows: - Stanley units affected have date codes 91-04-1 through 91-15-5. The date code is designated on a data plate located on the end panel at the back of the power unit. See illustration below. - Power Lift and EZ Lift units are both models 91R. The date codes affected are 01-21-91 through 04-11-91. The date code is found on the back panel in the lower right hand corner of the power unit. Consumers who purchased any of the openers should look on the power unit mounted on the garage ceiling for the date code. Owners of recalled openers should unplug and disconnect the opener immediately and then discard or destroy the product. As the company has sold its garage door division and is no longer involved with garage doors, there is no longer a remedy available as part of this recall. Continued use of affected doors in any but the manual mode of operation could result in serious injury or death. Failure to unplug the unit may result in electrical fire. The CPSC's mission is to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The CPSC is the federal agency responsible for consumer product safety. Some 15,000 different types of consumer products fall within the Commission's jurisdiction and each year these products are involved in an estimated 29 million injuries and 22,000 deaths
Decorator Cube Safety Warning
Decorator Cube Safety Warning NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 Note: Firm out of business. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Originally issued March 27, 1991; Revised July 10, 2001 (301) 504-7908 Release # 91-054 Decorator Cube Safety Warning WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, (CPSC), Seward Luggage Company of Petersburg, VA; Trojan Luggage of Memphis, TN; and Mercury Luggage Manufacturing Co. of Jacksonville, FL, today, issued a warning about a strangulation and suffocation hazard when decorator cubes with hinged lids manufactured prior to June 30, 1990 are used to store toys or children's belongings. These cubes, distributed nationwide during the past 2 1/2 years, are 16" X 16" X 16" cubed-shaped trunks with hinged lids decorated with various scenes and motifs. Decorator cubes manufactured after June 30, 1990 have removable lids. The decorator cubes may be appropriately used for storage and as a home furnishing. The cubes may present a strangulation hazard if the lid falls on the neck of a young child who is reaching into the trunk for a toy or other item. CPSC believes young children under the age of six years are at the greatest risk of injury. It was reported that a 14-month-old child died when a cube's lid allegedly fell on him. In addition, a young child could climb into a cube, become trapped inside and suffocate if the lid shuts. Approximately 2.2 million cubes have been distributed nationally by the three firms between 1987 and June 30, 1990. To prevent the possibility of strangulation or suffocation: Owners should remove the metal pin (used to hold the hinge together) from each of the two hinges, thereby making the lid removable. Owners of cubes who choose not to remove lids will be supplied with lid spacer clamps that will prevent the lid from slamming shut and a warning label to remind users of the potential hazards. Consumers should call 1-800-766-9417 to obtain free, easily installed spacer clamps, a warning label and further information if necessary, on the removal of the hinge pin. However, one of the firms, Seward Luggage Company, is out of business, so if the spacer clamps cannot be obtained for that firm's product, either remove the metal pin as described above, or discard or destroy the product.

General Electric Voluntarily Recalls Certain Drip Coffeemakers That May Pose A Fire Hazard
March 21, 1991 Release # 91-055 General Electric Voluntarily Recalls Certain Drip Coffeemakers That May Pose A Fire Hazard WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The General Electric Company (GE) in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), today announced the voluntary recall of certain GE brand and Universal brand drip coffeemakers manufactured before April 28, 1984 which present a potential fire hazard. The company believes that a fire hazard may occur when a purchased thermal fuse in the coffeemaker fails to function as intended. About nine million drip coffeemakers bearing the GE or Universal brand name were manufactured between 1976 and 1984. GE has received approximately 400 reports of coffeemakers overheating. It has been alleged recently that one fire caused by a fuse failure resulted in two fatalities and serious personal injury to eight other people. GE has received claims that fuse failures also may have been responsible for fires that resulted in one additional death and 15 personal injuries. Approximately 375 of the claims involve property damage ranging in value from $300 to $1.3 million. As an incentive, GE is offering owners $10 for each recalled unit returned. A $10 check will be mailed when a unit is received by GE. GE will give consumers with recalled coffeemakers pre-paid mailing cartons. In the carton will be instructions that will tell consumers how to arrange for convenient pick-up. This new method of recall is aimed at reducing consumer effort and increasing the rate of return. No units made on or after April 28, 1984 are involved in this recall. To determine the date of manufacture, check the date code number stamped on the outside metal blade of the electric plug. If the number is 418 through 600, the coffeemaker is not involved in this recall. Other GE brand and Universal brand drip coffeemakers which are not involved in the recall are: - Space Maker Drip Coffeemakers (catalog numbers that include the designations SDC1, SDC2, and SDC3) - Percolators Owners of a GE brand or Universal brand drip coffeemaker are asked to read both the catalog number on the bottom of the unit and the date code stamped on the outside of the metal blades of the electric plug. If the coffeemaker is a recalled unit, consumers should call toll-free 1-800-443-9000. The recalled coffeemakers are not repairable, and owners should unplug the unit and stop using it immediately. Consumers are being asked to check the automatic drip coffeemakers at their home and place of work. The CPSC is issuing this joint warning as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The CPSC is the Federal agency responsible for consumer product safety.

Halloween Advisory Trick-Or-Treat Erasers Voluntarily Recalled
CONTACT: October 30, 1990 (301) 504-7908 Release # 90-166 Halloween Advisory Trick-Or-Treat Erasers Voluntarily Recalled WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Lisa Frank, Inc., of Tucson, AZ, has voluntarily elected to recall approximately 200,000 packages of its colorful Halloween Erasers which may pose a choking hazard to small children. These multi-colored Halloween Erasers are sold 15 to a package. The front of the package reads: "Lisa Frank Halloween Erasers, Cool Collectibles." The erasers resemble Halloween items such as pumpkins, skulls, bats and ghosts and because of their bright colors and size could be mistaken for candy. The erasers were imported from Taiwan. While the package is labeled "Not Recommended for Children 4 Years of Age and Under", it was the concern of Lisa Frank, Inc. and CPSC that people handing out the erasers as Trick-or-Treat handouts would given them to small children. The small erasers are not appropriate for younger children. The packages of erasers sold for approximately $1.89 each. This is the second Halloween season the erasers have been distributed nationwide, and neither CPSC nor Lisa Frank, Inc., are aware of any injuries involving this product. It is believed that the erasers would not be given out until the night of Halloween, so this voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Consumers are urged not to use these erasers as Halloween handouts. Consumers may return the product to the store where purchased for a full refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions about this recall may contact Lisa Frank, Inc., at 602-624-1903. CPSC reminds adults to carefully examine any toy or novelty items received by trick-or-treaters under three years of age. Do not allow young children to have any items that are small enough to present a choking hazard or that have small parts or components that could separate during use and present a choking hazard. This reminder is for parents and anyone handing out such items to trick-or-treaters. The CPSC is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumers products. The CPSC is the Federal agency responsible for product safety. Some 15,000 products fall within the Commission's jurisdiction and each year these products are involved in an estimated 30 million injuries and 22,000 deaths

Challenger Electrical Equipment Corp. Offers Replacement Program For 9000 GFCI Circuit Breakers
Release # 88-095 WASHINGTON, DC- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Challenger Electrical Equipment Corp. of Malvern, Pennsylvania, voluntarily offered free replacement of its 15 and 20 ampere type HAGF single pole ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) circuit breakers.These type HAGF-15 and type HAGF-20 circuit breakers were manufactured between February 22, 1988 and April 29, 1988, and most were sold nationwide to electrical product distributors during this period. Some may have been sold to consumers by retail hardware or lumber outlets. Approximately 9000 of these devices have not been located, some of which are believed to have been installed in residences. Type HAGF ground fault circuit breakers are devices, which provide protection to consumers against severe electric shock and electrocution as well as providing the normal circuit breaker functions of interrupting short circuits and electrical overloads.Although no electric shock incidents have been reported by Challenger, the firm recalled this product because is has determined, by quality control testing, that a mechanical part may become detached and prevent the ground fault feature of the circuit breaker from functioning. (The normal circuit breaker functions are not affected by this problem.)They protect residential 15 ampere and 20 ampere circuits including receptacle outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, garages and outdoors as required by the National Electrical Code. The code also requires GFCI protection for receptacles in hotel and motel bathrooms. The HAGF circuit breakers, which may require replacement, are located in the electrical service panel. If the name "Challenger" is embossed on the front of the panel (on the door handle) and/or on the label on the back of the panel/door, that panel may contain circuit breakers requiring replacement. Affected circuit breakers have a yellow button and the word "test" in raised letters on one side; on the other side, the number 15 or 20 is printed on the handle in white letters between the raised words "ON" and "OFF." If the number on the handle is black or if there is a label it with white lettering next to the word "test , then the HAGF circuit breaker will not need to be replaced. Consumers should note that the HAGF circuit breakers which require replacement will only be found in dwellings which have been constructed since February 1988 or in which electrical work has been done since February 1988. Consumers who believe that they have installed HAGF circuit breakers requiring replacement should contact a licensed electrician to perform this work. Power to the panel should be shut off before inspecting and removing breakers.) The company is no longer able to be contacted at the phone numbers provided in the original press release.The Consumer Product Safety Commission believes that GFCI's provide a significant level of electrical safety. The Commission recommends that all GFCI's (whether circuit breaker or receptacle type) be tested frequently, at least monthly, using the test button on each unit

Strollers Repair by Fisher-Price NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 Note: Phone number change. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Originally issued November 24, 1987; Revised October 29, 2002 Release # 87-073 Fisher-Price To Modify Strollers WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Fisher-Price, East Aurora, New York, today announced it is voluntarily making available to consumers a free modification kit for approximately 41,000 of its Model 9110, combination carriage/strollers manufactured prior to July 1, 1986. A child's head or body can fall through an opening in the stroller when the seat is reclined. Although no serious injuries have been reported to date, the firm is taking corrective action to prevent that possibility. The combination carriage/strollers involved have fabric canopy side panels attached to the seat back with fabric fasteners. The fasteners can detach, leaving an open space when the stroller back is reclined through which an infant's head or body can fall. Fisher-Price has received 17 complaints that children's heads or arms protruded through the opening. In two cases the infant fell from the stroller. Fisher-Price has corrected the problem and models produced after July 1, 1986 are not affected. These models have a fabric liner stitched in place. The strollers were distributed by Fisher-Price between April 1985 and May 1986 and sold for about $100 in retail stores nationwide. Strollers subject to this program can be identified by the date of manufacture printed on the label on the back of the seat. Only those strollers dated prior to July 15, 1986 are affected. Fisher-Price will provide a free modification kit that will close the opening and prevent the possibility of a child's head or body falling through. The modification kit will still allow use of the multi-position feature of the seat back. Consumers can obtain the free modification kit with complete installation instructions by calling 800-233-4004 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST or by writing to Fisher-Price Consumer Affairs, PO Box 16, East Aurora, New York 14052. Until owners receive and install the modification kit, the strollers should not be used with the seat back reclined.

Stuffed Animal Mobiles Recalled by Calderon
Stuffed Animal Mobiles Recalled by Calderon NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 10, 1987 Release # 87-048 Stuffed Animal Mobiles Recalled Because Of Strangulation Hazard - Recent Death Cited WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Calderon Company, Inc., Locust Valley, New York, is recalling its large stuffed animal mobiles. When hung within the reach of an infant, a 26-inch nylon cord poses the potential for entanglement and strangulation. The Commission and the firm are aware of the September 1986 fatal strangulation accident of a 15-month-old Pennsylvania boy. The boy became entangled in the nylon cord attached to the wings of a "Toucan" model which was hung over a crib and post. A label sewn into the mobile, warning against use by children under three, had been removed after purchase. Other models of the colorful, soft, stuffed animal mobiles include giraffes, pelicans, elephants, ducks, and penguins. The recalled mobiles may be identified by a cloth label sewn into the stuffed toy. It bears the words "CALDERON CO, INC., CONTENTS: ALL NEW MATERIAL, PLUSH AND FILLING (FILLING: POLYSTER FIBER & PLASTIC PELLERS) NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OF AGE) MADE IN TAIWAN . " A nylon cord about 26 inches long attaches to one wing, arm, or ear, passes through a white ring connecting two springs, and then attaches to the other wing, arm, or ear (see attached sketch). This allows the wings, arms, or ears to flap as the animal bounces up and down. It also makes a squeaking noise as it bounces or is handles. Approximately 16,000 of these mobiles were imported from Taiwan and sold nationwide since 1979. The large stuffed mobiles retail for about $10.00. Consumers should take the mobiles away from children and cut the 26-inch nylon cord and springs. Send the detached cord and sprints to: Calderon Co., Inc., 480 Forest Avenue, Locust Valley , NY 11560. Calderon will send you a free plush toy in return. To report an unsafe consumer product or receive safety information, consumers may call the CPSC toll-free hotline number at 800-G38-CPSC.

Bassinet Repaired by Badger Basket
Bassinet Repaired by Badger Basket NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR RELEASE July 22, 1986 Release # 86-44 Repair Program To Prevent Injury From Bassinet Collapse Announced Washington, DC -- In cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Badger Basket Company of Edgar, Wisconsin, announced a voluntary repair program for certain bassinets produced prior to 1982, due to the possible collapse of their leg braces. Bassinets produced after 1982 incorporate a leg brace of another design and are not affected. The Commission and Badger have investigated 7 instances in which the braces connecting the foldable legs to the bassinet collapsed. The Commission believes that serious injury can occur to an infant resting in the bassinet, if the leg brace were to collapse. The bassinets are wicker in style and the mattress pads may contain the name Badger Basket on the tag which says "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law". Only those bassinets produced and sold prior to 1982 are affected. Satisfactory design changes were implemented by the firm in 1982. Additionally, production after 1983 contains a date code (indicating the month, day, and year of production) on the bottom of the bassinets which clearly distinguish the new-style leg brace from the old (See drawings below). An estimated 500,000 bassinets may have been produced from 1958 to 1982. While the staff does not believe all pose a risk injury, depending upon the amount of the use, the potential may exist for a leg brace failure. Owners of the Badger Bassinets are urged to take the following action: During use of the bassinet, ensure that leg braces are locked in the open position. Periodically check the leg braces especially if the bassinet has not been used for a time and has been folded up in storage. Consumers who own Badger Bassinets produced prior to 1982 should contact the Company for a free repair kit. To obtain the free locking rings and instructions for installation, owners should send the tag that reads " Under Penalty of Law This Tag Is Not To Be Removed Except By The Consumer" from the mattress pad identifying Badger Basket with their name and address to Badger Basket Company, Edgar, Wisconsin 54426. If the Law Tag has been removed, contact the firm for a drawing of affected leg braces to assist you in the identification of leg braces which should be repaired. Repair Program To Prevent Injury From Bassinet Collapse Announced Under laws administered by CPSC, an estimated 325 million potentially hazardous products have been called back from the marketplace and consumers since 1937 (when CPSC was created). Most of these were voluntarily recalled by manufacturers who established programs to repair or replace the products, or to refund the purchase price. Repair Program To Prevent Injury From Bassinet Collapse SOME BADGER BASSINETS MAY NEED REPAIR KITS. Badger bassinets produced before 1982 may collapse due to failure of the leg brace, so the firm is providing looking rings to correct the problem. Consumers should remove the mattress label "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law," and send to Badger Basket Company, Eager, Wisconsin 54426, together with name and address for free repair kit. Bassinets produced after 1982 do not have the problem, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Clacker Ball Toys Seized By Marshal
Clacker Ball Toys Seized By Marshal NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 10, 1985 Release # 85-065 Dangerous Toys Seized By U.S. Marshal In Phoenix The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that on December 6, the United States Marshal's Office in Phoenix, Arizona seized almost 4,600 banned "clacker ball" toys. The toys, labeled "KER-BANGERS," are a hand-held novelty item consisting of two plastic balls connected by a cord to a plastic handle. When the hand is raised and lowered, the balls "clack" or bang against each other in an arc. Despite the claim on the package that the "KER-BANGERS" are "SHATTERPROOF," when the Consumer Product Safety Commission tested these toys, the balls either shattered or cracked. In addition, many of the handles broke. Consumers who have "KER-BANGERS" should promptly throw them away. The toys were the seized at the premises of a wholesaler, Empire Novelty & Concession Supply, Inc. 2213 East Indian School Road, Phoenix, Arizona. Empire Novelty is voluntarily recalling the toys from its customers, who are retailers. The "KER-BANGERS" were shipped from California and, according to the label, were manufactured by Chuck Howard Toy Co. of Inglewood, California. The manufacturer is no longer in business. Clacker balls were a popular toy in the early 1970's. To prevent injuries from fragmentation of the balls or from propulsion of the parts upon sudden disassembly during use, they are subject to a regulation enforced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which requires them to pass specific durability tests.
Garbage Hauler Repairs Large Bins To Meet Federal Safety Standard
December 3, 1985 Release # 85-061 Garbage Hauler Repairs Large Bins To Meet Federal Safety Standard The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that a commercial refuse hauler in Florida has brought into compliance seven large unstable slant-sided metal refuse bins of the type that are banned by federal law because they have tipped over and crushed children. In 1977, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a ban to address the risk of tip-over of large unstable metal refuse bins that crushed children climbing or hanging on the bins. The federal ban outlaws metal bins with a volume of more than one cubic yard if they tip over during testing. The Commission test, designed to simulate the climbing and hanging activities of children, requires that bins sustain a horizontal force of 70 pounds and a vertical force of 191 pounds. Before the ban was issued, the Consumer Product Safety Commission had investigated 19 incidents of refuse bin tip-over, involving 21 victims, 20 of them children younger than ten years old. At the time, thirteen children had died from being crushed by unstable refuse bins. Since the 1977 ban, the Commission has investigated an additional 41 incidents of refuse bin tip-over, involving 41 victims, 39 of them children younger than age ten. There have been 16 more deaths. As part of the Commission's continuing surveillance to find all banned unstable refuse bins, investigators from Commission offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Orlando, Florida discovered bins owned by ABC Disposal, Inc. in Port Richey, Florida that failed the federal safety standard. The Commission and ABC Disposal entered into a written agreement giving the firm fourteen days to repair or remove from public areas seven remaining unstable bins. In mid-November, the firm completed the repairs by welding extensions to keep the bins from tipping over
Crib Brackets & MattressSupport Hangers Replaced by Baby Line
Crib Brackets & Mattress Support Hangers Replaced by Baby Line NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 26, 1985 Release # 85-033 "Questor" Crib Brackets And Mattress Support Hangers To Be Replaced WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Baby Line Furniture Company, a division of Spalding & Evenflo Companies, Inc., today announced a voluntary replacement program of slotted mattress support hangers and plastic brackets for Questor "Baby Line" cribs manufactured from 1970 through 1982 because the Commission believes they can cause suffocation hazards. The hangers and brackets hold the mattress and spring to the corner- posts of the cribs. Two deaths and 14 other instances where the slotted hangers became unhooked and 17 instances of plastic brackets breaking or bending have been reported to the Commission. If the hanger becomes unhooked or a plastic bracket bends or breaks, the mattress can tilt down when the child moves to that corner. The child can then slide down and become caught between the mattress and the side rail or end panel of the crib. In 19 of the 33 reported incidents, including the two deaths, the child became entrapped between the mattress and the crib. The Commission believes the hangers may become unhooked when the crib is moved, the bed is made of when a child jumps in the crib. While the firm believes its cribs do not present a hazard if assembled properly and used in accordance with instructions, a failure of the plastic hanger bracket, or an unhooking of the slotted hangers could cause the crib spring and mattress assembly to pivot downward when the child moves to that corner, resulting in potential for injury. The cribs can be identified by the name "Questor" on a stick-on-label underneath the mattress on the headboard or footboard of the crib. The cribs can also be identified by the slotted hangers and a tubular mattress support. More than 900,000 of the cribs were manufactured. Many of them are now being used by second or third owners. Fifty percent or more are believed by the Commission to be in storage. The cribs were sold in several different styles and come in white, maple, pine and sometimes in yellow and walnut finishes. They sold at retail for $77.00 to $140.00. The plastic brackets were previously recalled in 1979 and 1981, but the Commission has continued to receive reports of breakage and bending. Baby Line has since changed the design of its brackets and also of its mattress support hangers. If you own one of these cribs having slotted mattress hangers or plastic brackets, whether you are using it or have it in storage, call the manufacturer toll-free to obtain replacement kits for the slotted hangers and plastic brackets. The number is 800-543-8954 outside Ohio and 800-762-8926 in Ohio. You may also write to Baby Line Furniture Co., 6235 South St. Andrews Place, Los Angeles, California, 90047, Attention: Corrective Program. Owners of these cribs which have been previously used or which have been disassembled and reassembled are also urged to check the cribs frequently for stability and loose or missing parts. If owners do not have the original assembly and use instructions, they should obtain a copy from the company at the above address or by calling the toll-free phone numbers. Information concerning this matter is also available to consumers on CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800-638-CPSC. A teletypewriter number for the hearing-impaired is (301) 595-7054.

Safety Kit For Washers Offered by Britt Tech
Safety Kit For Washers Offered by Britt Tech a voluntary program to provide safety kits to modify the handles of approximately 136,000 consumer and farm-use electric pressure washers made prior to mid-1983. The Commission and the company are aware of 6 deaths from electric shock related to use of pressure washers manufactured by Britt Tech. Under this program, Britt Tech and its private labelers will provide free material designed to isolate electrically the pressure washer's handle in order to prevent serious electric shock to consumers. Pressure washers are used to clean houses and other buildings and prepare them for painting and to clean shutters, patios, driveways and vehicles. They are frequently used on farms to clean buildings and machinery. Britt Tech and some private labelers will also voluntarily extend the scope of this program to cover commercial series units produced prior to February, 1984. While the firm believes its pressure washers do not present a hazard if operated in accordance with the operator's instructions and warnings on the machines and are not modified in any way, a severe or fatal electric shock can occur when a user contacts the handle of the pressure washer if the machine is ungrounded and a second fault occurs. This could happen if the power cord to extension cord connections become wet, or an improper or faulty extension cord is used, or a fault exists within the pressure washer electrical system. Britt Tech distributed these pressure washers nationally under the "Liquid Brush" trade name and a number of private label trade names (see list below). To obtain the free safety component kit and complete instructions, Iowa residents and others may write to Britt Tech Corporation, Department R, P.O. Box 216, Britt Iowa 50423.

If possible, use a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Carefully follow all other warnings and operating instructions provided by the manufacturer. Keep all cord connections dry. Never remove the ground pin from a power cord or bypass a ground pin by using an adopter plug. Never cut or splice the electrical cord.

Nine Inch Fans Warned by GE
Nine Inch Fans Warned by GE NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 30, 1983 Release # 83-061 General Electric Company Warns Of Nine Inch Fan Fire Hazard Washington, D.C.--In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the General Electric Company (GE) warns consumers that its 1983 nine inch portable 2-speed oscillating fan, model F-l-OF-9A, presents a fire hazard. In the initial CPSC/GE news release of July 28, 1983, GE announced a recall program, indicating that fan overheating could result from a defective speed control switch, and warned that some fans could present a potential fire hazard. CPSC and the General Electric Company have reassessed the problem and have determined that this fan can ignite in flames and is a severe fire hazard. GE has received 17 additional reports of overheated fans or fan fires since the July 28, 1983, news release. A total of 35 incidents have been reported by GE. Though no injuries have resulted, GE and CPSC are concerned that a number of these fire incidents have occurred while fans were operating at night when consumers were asleep. GE estimates that approximately 2,100 fans out of more than 10,000 still in the hands of consumers are subject to this problem. GE's voluntary recall program involves the replacement of the nine inch Fl-OF-9A fan with a twelve inch model, at no cost to the consumer. Owners of GE portable oscillating fans are asked to read the model number on the bottom of the fan base. Consumers who identify their fans as model Fl-OF-9A should stop using it, unplug the unit and not attempt to disassemble or service it themselves. Owners should then call the GE Answer Center? a 24-hour toll-free service at 800-626-2000 (ask for Dept. 25), for complete information on free replacement. No other fans or products are involved. GE has also indicated that it will attempt to reach owners of the Fl-OF-9A fan through owner registration cards. Information concerning this matter is also available to consumers on CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800-638-CPSC. A teletypewriter number for the hearing impaired is (301) 595-7054.

Pronto Caffe Espresso/Cappuccino Machines Recalled by Continental Gourmet NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 29, 1982 Release # 82-042 Continental Gourmet Corp. And CPSC Reach Agreement To Replace Parts On Some Pronto Caffe EM-L Espresso Cappuccino Appliances WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Continental Gourmet Corp. of Edison, New Jersey, has agreed to replace parts on its Pronto Caffe EM-l Espresso/Cappuccino SBevearge Makers which were manufactured through May 1980. Approximately 22,000 units may be involved. According to CPSC, the coffee basket in particular units b of this appliance may be difficult to secure. The unit has a water reservoir below which the coffee basket is attached. The brewed coffee drips into a glass carafe positioned directly beneath the basket. If the coffee basket is not properly secured to the unit, the normal buildup of steam pressure could potentially cause the basket to dislodge and strike the glass carafe, resulting in flying glass and hot liquid.

Gerico Baby Back Carriers Recalled Because of Potential Hinge Safety Problem
Gerico Baby Back Carriers Recalled Because of Potential Hinge Safety Problem NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 Note: Telephone Number & Responding Company Change, and remedy is no longer available. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Originally issued July 13, 1982, Last revised June 15, 2004 Release # 82-031 Gerico Baby Back Carriers Recalled Because of Potential Hinge Safety Problem WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Gerico, Inc., Denver, Colorado, had announced a voluntary repair program affecting approximately 238,000 "Gerry Carrier" and "Pak-A-Poose" baby back carriers. The carriers were manufactured between March 1979 and February 1981 and were being repaired because of a potential infant finger entrapment in the hinge mechanism on the moveable stand which supports the carrier when it is placed on a surface. The potential for entrapment occurs if the carrier's stand bar is opened while the child is in the carrier on the adult's back and the child's fingers are out of view. The Commission is aware of at least 23 incidents of finger entrapment resulting in 9 injuries. Injuries have included pinching, lacerations, and partial finger tip severance. Only carriers manufactured between March 1979 and February 1981 are involved. Carriers manufactured before or after these dates are not subject to the recall since they contain differently designed hinge mechanisms. The carrier was sold under the "Gerry" brand name by independent and chain retailers nationwide, as well as in U.S. Army and Air Force Exchanges. Retailers included K mart, Best Products, Woolworth, Woolco, Toys "R" Us and Montgomery Ward. The carrier was also sold nationwide under the label "Pak-A-Poose" by Sears, Roebuck and Co. The carriers sold at a price range of approximately $18-$30. To identify the product, consumers should locate the plastic brace at the bottom of the carrier. The date code of two, three or four digits is imprinted on the lower right inside portion of the brace (when facing the carrier straps). The first number is the last digit of the year the product was made. The following number or numbers on the top and bottom lines indicate what day of the year the item was manufactured (see attached drawing). Products covered by the program fall between 9/64 (the sixty-fourth day of 1979) and l/60 (the sixtieth day of 1981). All carriers with date codes beginning with the digit 0 are affected since they were made in 1980. Consumers who have these carriers should discard them. Repair parts are no longer available. Consumers who have questions about this recall may contact Evenflo's Parent Link Consumer Resource Center at (800) 233-5921. (Gerico, Inc. is out of business, but the Evenflo Company has now taken over responding to this recall).

Smoke Detectors Recalled by Chloride Pyrotector NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 3, 1981 Release # 81-020 Smoke Detectors Recalled WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 3, 1981) -- Some Commercial and residential battery-operated photoelectric smoke detectors sold since 1979 under the brand names of Chloride Pyrotector, Archer, Masterguard, Vanguard, Vantage I and Protect-er Systems are being recalled because a potentially defective electronic microchip may prevent the alarm from sounding in the presence of smoke. The recall is being conducted voluntarily by the Chloride Pyrotector Division of Chloride, Inc., Hingham, Mass., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Some of the firm's 185,000 smoke detectors manufactured from March 1, 1979 to March 15, 1981 may contain a transistor array semiconductor that will not operate in the presence of smoke. Owners of the smoke detectors have been asked by the manufacturer to remove the back plate of the product so that the model or code number may be checked on the interior hosing. Potentially defective smoke detectors include the following: Chloride Pyrotector - Models 3077,3078,3079; Archer number 275453 sold through Radio Shack; Masterguard MGB 360; Vanguard 817; and Protect-er Systems P365. Potentially defective models also will have a 6-digit data code on the housing showing dates between 030179 and 031581. Consumer wishing to verify the model number should contact CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800-638-2772. Commerical and residential users may verify the integrity of the smoke detectors by testing the horn with a fresh factory specified 9-volt battery. If the horn sounds when the test button is pressed, the detector does not contain a defective microchip; if the horn does not sound, the user is requested to call Roberta Calla of Chloride Pyrotector at 1-800-343-5647 for instructions on where to send the product for a free replacement or repair.
LP Gas Water Heaters Repaired by White-Rodgers
LP Gas Water Heaters Repaired by White-Rodgers LP (liquid Propane) gas water heaters which contain a thermostat manufactured by the White-Rodgers division of Emerson Electric Co. of St. Louis, Missouri. The water heaters were sold between 1961 and 1980 predominantly to rural homeowners by the A.O. Smith Corporation of Kankakee, Illinois, and by Sears, Roebuck and Co. of Chicago, Illinois. A.O. Smith manufactured its own water heaters during this period and sold them through plumbing wholesalers and contractors; the Sears water heaters were manufactured by State Industries. In settlement of its alleged failure to report promptly these explosions to the Commission as required by law, White-Rodgers has agreed to pay $420,000. Thermostats produced by White-Rodgers from 1976 through 1980 had different pilot gas control knobs and were installed in LP gas water heaters manufactured by A.O. Smith, Rheem Manufacturing Co., the W.L. Jackson Manufacturing Co., and State Industries. These water heaters were sold by Sears, Montgomery Ward Co., and a variety of plumbing supply outlets. The post-1976 thermostats incorporated into water heaters manufactured by State Industries, A.O. Smith, Rheem Manufacturing Co. and W.L. Jackson Manufacturing Co. do not contain the pilot gas control knobs involved in the explosions described above, and are being replaced solely to meet certain "state of the art" standards met by the current White-Rodgers thermostats. A total of 56 different brand names of water heaters manufactured by the above-listed companies are being covered by the recall program. This recall program is expected to cost the comuanies which signed the agreement with CPSC anywhere from $5 million to $9 million during the next year, although they recognize that this figure does not represent a ceiling on the potential cost of the program. A list of the brand names is attached to this press release. Following negotiations with CPSC staff, White-Rodgers agreed to mail safety alert notices to all the identifiable users of LP gas in the United States -- or an estimated 15 million households. Each notice will describe the White-Rodgers thermostat which is eligible for replacement. If consumers believe that their water heater contains one of the potentially hazardous thermostats, they are instructed to telephone a toll-free hotline at White-Rodgers headquarters (800-325-9589) to arrange for replacement with a new, modified thermostat free-of-charge to consumers. (Residents of Missouri, Alaska or Hawaii should call the company collect at 314-631-9321). Trade Names Of Water Heaters Possibly Having White-Rodgers Thermostats A. O. Smith Co. Sears Rheem MFG. Co.

Scuba Regulators Recalled by Under Sea
Scuba Regulators Recalled by Under Sea NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 1, 1979 Release # 79-051 Scuba Regulators Recalled WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 1) -- Second-stage scuba regulators which may pose a drowning hazard to divers are being recalled by their manufacturer, Under Sea Industries, Inc., in Compton, California. A second-stage regulator consists of the diver's mouthpiece and the "purge," which is a button used to clear water from the mouthpiece. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. An integral exhaust valve, which enables the diver to exhale, may dislodge from its proper position if the purge is depressed and the diver's tongue is blocking the mouthpiece. This can cause the regulator to flood. The unintentional application of silicon lubricant to the valve or valve seat during servicing is believed to cause the valve displacement. Approximately 800 of these regulators have been sold in diving stores nationwide at retail prices ranging from $90 to $150. The company previously notified its dealers and some consumers about the recall, but poor response has prompted this additional bulletin. The recall applies to the "SCUBAPRO" model 11-108-000 second-stage regulator and to model 12-103-000 and 12-010-000 regulator systems, which include the potentially defective valve. The model numbers appear on the packaging carton and the warranty card. Divers who have purchased these regulators or had them serviced between September 12, 1978, and April, 1979, should return them to any authorized "SCUBAPRO" dealer for free repairs. Dealers are listed in the "Yellow Pages" section of the telephone directory under the heading, "Divers' Equipment and Supplies." To verify model numbers, consumers may contact CPSC's toll- free Hotline 800/638-2772.
Women's Garments Recalled by Edgewood Chenille
Women's Garments Recalled by Edgewood Chenille NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 27, 1979 Release # 79-043 Flammable Women's Garments Recalled WASHINGTON, D.C. (Aug. 27) -- The Edgewood Chenille Company, a clothing manufacturer in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, is recalling thousands of highly flammable women's garments, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission today announced. The garments include women's bathrobes, jackets, shorts and tube-tops. All are made of 100 per cent cotton chenille, a soft, unribbed fabric with a high, fuzzy nap. Since December, 1978, three women have been burned when their bathrobes caught on fire. One of the women was seriously injured with second-and third-degree burns which covered 25 per cent of her body. In CPSC laboratory tests of the garments conducted since June, 1979, 7 of 10 garments failed to pass the federal flammability standard for adult wearing apparel. The garments have been sold nationwide since 1975 under the "Edgewood" and "Wrappers" labels in department stores and ladies' apparel stores. The bathrobes are floor-length and long-sleeved, and wrap in front. They have sold at retail prices ranging from $35 to $60. The jackets are waist-length and long-sleeved. Some are fashioned as "fitted blazers" with notched collars and padded shoulders, and others as pullovers with hoods and elastic waistbands. They have sold for approximately $30 to $35. The boxer-style shorts also have elastic waistbands, and have sold from $12 to $15. The tube-tops are fully elasticized, strapless garments, which have retailed from $10 to $12. Women who own these garments should return them to their retailers to receive free replacement apparel which complies with the flammability standard. Anyone who requires additional information about this recall should contact the Edgewood Chenille Company, P.O. Box 14, Tunnel Hill, Georgia, 30755, telephone (404) 935-3121.

Warning Issued On Portable Air Tanks
November 24, 1978 Release # 78-096 Warning Issued On Portable Air Tanks WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 24 ) -- Citation Mfg. Co., Inc., Siloam Springs, Ark., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), today issued a warning that some portable air tanks manufactured by the company, may rupture or explode because of defects in the metal tank casing. The company has received numerous reports about ruptured tanks causing injuries since 1973, including one death in Tennessee. The tanks are used for such purposes as pressurizing tires. A recall of these same products was conducted by the company individually on several occasions and with the help of CPSC in 1973, but the firm suspects 118,000 tanks may yet be in the hands of consumers. The tanks were made between 1969 and 1975. They may be painted red, blue or yellow. Red tanks may be labeled, "Citation Power Cleaning Equipment"; Yellow tanks, "Camel Big Airy No. 5510"; and blue tanks, "General Service Line No. 9-774 Portable Air Tank". Each tank is cylindrical in shape, 21 inches long and 14 inches high and weighs 23 pounds. Anyone wanting more information about these tanks should contact Mr. Delbert Phillips at Citation (501/524-6471). To verify model numbers and brand names, call CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800/638- 2772
Amana Freezers
November 22, 1978 Release # 78-094 Amana Freezers WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 22)-- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Amana Refrigeration, Inc., Amana, Iowa, today announced that 96,000 owners of Amana side-by-side refrigerator-freezers made between February 1969 and September 1974, have been contacted by the company and given instructions for modifying the units to eliminate any possibility of shock hazard. In its first announcement of the possible defect made jointly with Amana in August 1977, CPSC described the voluntary repair program for about 240,000 units. According to Amana, it has exhausted all available lists of consumers to contact concerning the modification program and wants the remaining owners to get in touch with the company immediately. The Amana models to be modified are SR17, SR19, SR22, SR25, SD19, SD22, and SD25, whose serial numbers begin with the letters IS, E, B, L, A or C. The appliances in question can be positively identified by checking the model and serial number on the serial plate located behind the removable black grille at the lower front of the unit. The possibility of a shock hazard is caused by a defective hinge wire assembly which powers the butter-keeper heater and anti-sweat heater. CPSC has learned of 41 shock incidents to date. Anyone owning one of the 144,000 units that have not yet been modified should immediately furnish model, serial number, name and address to Amana Refrigeration, Inc., Amana, Iowa 52204. If consumers are unable to contact Amana directly they should call, with the same information, CPSC's toll-free hotline at 800/638-2772

(May 18) -- The Sperry Remington Division of Sperry Rand Corp., Bridgeport, Conn., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, announced today that a quality control audit has revealed that under certain conditions a very small number (estimated to be 119 shavers) out of a total of approximately 280,000 of its women's rechargeable electric shavers may pose a shock hazard. The 119 shavers may contain pierced insulation between the batteries and an exterior metal base plate. A possible shock may occur if the base plate is touched to a person who is simultaneously contacting a ground while the shaver is plugged in. The shavers were distributed nationwide between July 1973 and March 1978 at a retail price of approximately $25. Only women's rechargeable shavers with the model numbers 3B2L or 6B2L imprinted on the base plate on the bottom of the shaver and NOT containing a large R on the base plate are being corrected. No other Remington shavers are involved. Although no incidents of shock have been reported, consumers who have a model 3B2L or 6B2L women's rechargeable shaver are urged to discontinue use of the product and to send their names and addresses to Sperry Remington, Dept.

Baseball Pitching Machines Warning
Baseball Pitching Machines Warning NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 14, 1978 Release # 78-021 CPSC Warns On Hazardous Baseball Pitching Machines WASHINGTON, DC (April 14) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today warned the public not to use certain unguarded automatic baseball pitching machines which it considers extremely hazardous. The Commission advises anyone having possession of such unguarded machines to place these machines in a locked storage area where unwary persons will not have access to them. The machines, which were sold to schools, recreational organizations and individuals, may be labeled "Dudley" or "Commercial Mechanisms." In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, the Commission alleges that the unguarded, rotating metal pitching arm can go off suddenly, without warning, and strike persons standing in the path of the arm. The Commission alleges that this has happened in numerous incidents even though the machines were unplugged or turned off. Everyone should be careful of pitched balls. However, the hazard addressed in this action relates to the unguarded arm. The Commission has received numerous reports of serious injuries -- including paralysis, skull fractures, brain damage, loss of sight, and other severe injuries such as broken bones -- suffered by persons hit by the pitching arm. In one reported incident, a nine-year-old boy was left a permanent paraplegic as a result of being hit in the head by the pitching machine. According to reports received by the Commission: baseball coaches, high school students, "Little League" instructors, and even small children who have come up to the machine just to look at it, have been seriously injured. These reported injuries have occurred on school grounds, in city parks, and at private homes. Reportedly, about 7,500 of the baseball pitching machines were manufactured between 1956 and 1975 and distributed nationwide. The majority of the owners appear to be institutions such as schools and "Little League" teams, but some machines are privately-owned. The machines were sold under various brand names including: "Olympia, " "Olympic," "Champ," "Blazer," "Super Blazer," "Pro-Blazer," "Range Blazer, " "Range, " "Master," "Mentor," "Pro-Trainer," and "Professional." The pitching machines are operated by electricity or gasoline engine. Even when the machine is turned off or unplugged, however, if the pitching arm is cocked in approximately the "10 o'clock position," the machine can fire if jarred or subjected to vibration. Consequently, the Commission warns that the machines should be locked up to prevent accidents and should never be left in areas where children can reach them. Before locking up the machine, CPSC advises that the pitching arm cable be disconnected carefully from the coil spring. The Commission has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to compel the manufacturer and distributors of the machines to provide a guard for the pitching arm at no cost to the purchaser. Without such a guard, the Commission warns, the machines are dangerous and may cause severe injury. The Commission urges people not to use these machines.

Refrigerator Repaired by Amana Amana Refrigeration, Inc., Amana, Iowatoday announced voluntary corrective action program involving approximately 240,000 Amana side-by-side refrigerator/freezers manufactured between February 1969 and September 1974. Those refrigerator/freezers to be repaired are Amana model numbers SR 17, SR 19, SR 22, SR 25, SD 19, SD 22, and SD 25. The units can be further identified by checking the serial numbers on the serial plate located behind the removable black grill at the front of the refrigerator/freezer. Those serial numbers beginning with the letters S, E, B, L, A, or C are affected by this program. These refrigerator/freezers contain a hinge wire assembly in both of the doors which powers the heaters to the butter keeper and the anti-sweat device. The hinge wire may wear from frequent door openings causing contact between the bare wire and the inside of the door. There is a possibility that someone contacting or grasping both of the doors at the same time will be severely shocked. Forty-one shock incidents have been reported to the Commission. Amana is identifying and contacting owners of these refrigerator/freezers by letter in order to advise that modifications to eliminate this potential hazard should be made by the owner without delay. Until the written instructions are received consumers owning this product are advised to contact Amana through its toll-free number 800/553-6333 or write directly to Amana at: Amana Refrigeration Inc., Amana, Iowa 52204. In the event that Amana can not be reached, consumers are advised to contact the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Comnission's toll-free HOTLINE at 800/638-2772. Important Information About The Safety Of Your Side-By-Side Refrigerator Dear Amana Owner: Amana products have earned an excellent reputation for quality and safety. This comes in part through continued testing and monitoring of performance both in our plants and in the homes of our customers. However, some of the units, we have discovered, have had the wiring installed incorrectly. You may have one of these units. Excessive wear in these units can result in the electrical wires wearing out in the freezer or refrigerator door. Should this happen in either door, you may receive a severe electrical shock if you touch both door handles at the same time. The units involved were produced from February 1969 through September 1974, models beginning with the letters SR or SD. These are further identified by the letters S, E, B, L, A or C preceding the serial numbers. Our records indicate that you have one of these units. Please take the following steps at once. You should have no reluctance to perform these steps as they do not pose any hazard whatsoever. If you take these steps, you will eliminate any possibility of the shock hazard described above. In taking these steps, refer to the illustration. Disconnecting Hinge Wires 1. Remove Black Grille. 2. Unplug each plug. 3. Install Black plugs enclosed. 4. Add safety sticker to each wire. 5. Replace black grille.
Automatic Baseball Pitching Machines Warning
Automatic Baseball Pitching Machines Warning NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 21, 1977 Release # 77-078 Warning Issued On Automatic Baseball Pitching Machines WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 21) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today issued an urgent warning to purchasers and users of certain automatic baseball pitching machines of the potential for severe bodily injury which the machines present. The machines are labeled as follows: "Blazer (Champ)," the "Professional," "Range, " "Pro-Trainer (Olympia)," and/or the "Dudley Automatic Pitching Machine." They were manufactured by Commercial Mechanisms, Inc., of Spring Park, Minnesota, and Kansas City, Missouri. The Commission has two reports of permanent and severe brain damage resulting from these machines. There are about 18 other injuries including brain concussions, severe lacerations and severe facial disfigurement. The Commission has authorized its staff to prepare the necessary papers for filing a complaint in U.S. District Court seeking recall of the machines and a declaration that they are an imminent hazard. About 5,000 of these machines have been distributed throughout the United States to schools, colleges, clubs, recreation departments, and other athletic organizations. They were manufactured from 1963 to 1975. The Commission is asking consumers who have access to or know the location of a machine to call tie U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's toll-free hotline 800/638-2772. The pitching machines have rotary pitching arms propelled by a gasoline engine or electric motor which powers a gear, pulley and tension spring mechanism. The revolving pitching arm which has no guard retains sufficient energy to "pitch" even though the machines are unplugged or disconnected. This energy can release the pitching arm after only slight vibration of the machine. The downward rotation of the pitching arm at high velocity has resulted in serious injuries to persons in its path. The pitching arm may also separate from the machine during operation, becoming an uncontrolled and potentially lethal missile. The machines may also fire pitches erratically in unintended directions. Consumers are alerted to follow these important safety precautions: Avoid placing any portion of the body within the arc or path through which the pitching arm revolves, unless the machine is disconnected from its power source and the coil spring is disengaged from the spring holder. Disengage the coil spring from the spring holder after use, and lock the machine in a location that will restrict unauthorized or unsupervised access. If the machine must be moved, disconnect the machine from its power source and disengage the coil spring from the spring holder before moving. Never store the pitching machine with the pitching arm in the 10:00 o'clock position. An Example of A Pitching Machine With An Unguarded Arm (Blazer "Little Champ" Model) Guardless

Aluminum Baseball Bats Replaced by Manufacturers & Distributors NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 13, 1976 Release # 76-024 CPSC Announces Consent Agreement With Manufacturers And Distributors Of Aluminum Baseball Bats WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 13) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced today approval of a settlement agreement between the Commission's Bureau of Compliance and respondents in the Aluminum Baseball Bats Enforcement Proceeding, CPSC Docket Nos. 75-9, 75-10, 75-11, 75-12, 75-13, and 75-14.

The enforcement proceedings were brought because the Commission staff was of the opinion that an undetermined number of aluminum bats could present a substantial product hazard within the meaning of the Consumer Product Safety Act. The staff charged that the one piece rubber grips and knob could deteriorate and separate from the handle of the bat, causing the bat to be propelled during a swinging motion and having the potential for striking a person in near proximity to the batter. The agreement is entered into for settlement purposes only, and the agreement and the order, notices and news releases agreed upon and to be issued pursuant thereto do not constitute an admission by respondents or a finding by the Commission that the Act or any other law has been violated or that respondents have failed properly to perform or carry out any duty or obligation or that the products which are the subject of the captioned proceedings contain a defect, fail to comply with any consumer product safety rule, create a risk of injury or present or constitute a "substantial product hazard" within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act. The respondents in the subject enforcement proceedings have agreed to a program notifying consumers of the possible risk alleged in the Notices of Enforcement in the proceedings and of the opportunity to receive, free of charge, an update kit with which to affix mechanically a new knob to the bat. Prior to this agreement Jas. D. Easton Inc. had agreed upon a similar program with the Commission. These bats have been sold under the following trade names: "H&B/ Louisville Slugger", "Reynolds", "AJD", "Easton", "Adirondack", "Worth", "Sears", "Sunsmacker", "Wilson", and "Rawlings".

Aluminum Softball & Baseball Bats Warning
Aluminum Softball & Baseball Bats Warning NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 25, 1975 Release # 75-053 CPSC Warns Of Potential Hazard With Certain Aluminum Softball And Baseball Bats With Rubber Grips WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 25) -- More than five million aluminum baseball and softball bats with rubber grips sold nationally since 1968 could pose serious risks of injury if the rubber grips are loose, worn, damaged or deteriorated. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is issuing this warning in the interest of the public health and safety, urges consumers to check the rubber grips on their aluminum bats immediately and to cease use of those bats with loose, torn or deteriorated grips. If the grip is loose, worn or damaged, the aluminum bat could fly out of the grip or fly away from a torn off knob when the bat is swung. The one-piece rubber grip sleeve and solid rubber knob are all that hold the bat in place. Two major injuries and one death reportedly have occurred when aluminum bats have detached from the grips during a swing and have been propelled through the air. The Commission has identified one of the grip manufacturer, Eaton Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio and seven bat manufacturers and distributors who used these grips: Alcoa Sport Products Company, Santa Fe Springs, California: Easton Aluminum Company, Van Nuys, California: Hillerich & Bradsby, Louisville, Kentucky: Reynolds Metals Company, Richmond, Virginia: Wilson Sporting Goods Company, River Grove, Illinois; Lannom Manufacturing Company, Tullahoma, Tennessee: and Airlite Aluminum Corporation, Kearny, New Jersey. The bats have been sold under the various manufacturers' names with the name "Hitter's Pride" being imprinted on the knob of many of the rubber grips. The grips are black, one-piece molded rubber sleeves and knobs. Some of the trade names used are "Easton," "Adirondack," "Wilson," "H & B/Louisville Slugger," "Reynolds," and "Worth." The Commission is continuing to determine if other grip and bat manufacturers' products pose a serious risk of injury to consumers. Airlite Aluminum Corporation, Belgrove Drive and Passaic Avenue, Kearny, New Jersey, has voluntarily agreed to repair free of charge any Airlite "Hitter's Pride" bat sent to them by consumers.
