November Product Recalls In Pennsylvania – Defective Products That May Cause Serious Injury


Posted on Dec 03, 2008

Many times, defective products are no more than annoying hassles - a coffee maker that leaks, a toy that arrives broken in the box, a table that wobbles. However, some defective products are more than inconveniences - they can be harmful, cause serious injury, or even result in death. One of the best ways that you can protect yourself and your family from dangerous defective products is to keep abreast of product recalls by visiting websites like the US Consumer Product Commission. Here are some products that you should keep your eye out for in Pennsylvania this month:

· JCPenny is recalling 24,000 pairs of Arizona brand newborn and infant denim pants due to a chocking hazard - the metal snap on the waistband may detach and be swallowed. Those who own the pants should stop using them immediately and return them to the store for a full refund.

· DuPont is recalling bottles of Heavy Duty Acidic Cleaner Bottles, due to a risk of severe skin irritation and burns. The bottles can build up pressures, causing the liquid to leak out of the caps in full or nearly full bottles. There have been two reports of skin irritation and peeling skin due to the leaks. If there are signs of leakage, consumers should stop using the bottle. Even if there are no signs of leakage, consumers should wear gloves when handling the product.

· Green Mountain Vista Inc. is recalling 7,300 insulated black-out roller shades and insulated Roman shades after a two-year-old girl almost strangled on the cord of one of the products. The girls suffer deep neck bruising but has recovered. Those with the shades should immediately contact the company for a repair kit.

· Target is recalling 365,000 dive sticks because of an impalement hazard. The sticks, which were sold in a bundle of three multi-colored sticks, could remain upright in the pool, posing a danger to children in the water. Target asks customers to return the sticks for a full refund.
