Since I have decided to put up a few of the recalled items on this blog, I find that the list is impressive. You have no idea how much is recalled literally every day. I cannot list everything with a lot of description. If I did, I would not be able to write anything else. The list is long. It would be wise to look up recalled items yourself. But for those who do not have time, here is a short list of things recalled in the last few days:

1) 2008 Freightliner Semi Truck: Several versions for 2008. Briefly, the problem is in the air brake system. The air leaks out under certain conditions making the brakes inoperative. Check with your local Freightliner dealership for more information.

2) Saab 9-5 Auto for the years 2002-2008. Failure to comply with the federal guidelines on the front seat head restraints. If in an accident, injury could occur. Please contact your Saab dealer.

3) 2006-2008 Hyundai Sonata Auto: Front right seat airbag which detects child in the seat. If the person is not a child but is small, the airbag may not deploy in an accident. Please contact your local dealership for more information.

4) Charm Key Chains: Voluntary recall by Walmart recalling product named “Hip Charm” Key Chains due to the possibility of lead exposure. If a child gets ahold of this product, it can cause a high level of lead in the child. A 9 month old child has been injured with this product. This product has a number of charms with a button, clover, leaf, heart and a sand dollar. The charms are on a silver-colored chain. The words “Hip charm” and UPC (#31568 11017) are printed on the product’s packaging. MADE IN CHINA!!! What a surprise…not.

I can’t help thinking that what this country needs to do is ban China from sending us any other products due to the high level of recalls. Each time I hear of a recall that has a product from China, I am that much more for banning their products altogether for the safety of our own people.

Thanks for reading this blog. Happy Shopping!!
