If anyone has the idea that recalls are slow and not happening much, I can tell you that I receive information concerning massive numbers of recalls. I can only put so many here on the blog. There are definitely way more than I report to you. It would be in your and your family’s best interests to find the list of all the recalls that are happening here and in the other countries. It is a large list.
For the 15th and 14th, these are the ones that I have chosen to report on. Some of them will be almost a copy of the actual recall since there is so much info to be passed on. Here is a list:
1) Shindaiwa Corp. recalls BACKPACK BLOWERS. Voluntary recall. The fan can separate off and cause other parts to also separate from the casing. This causes the plastic parts to fly out of the blower and pose a hazard to people nearby. Injuries and lacerations are possible. At a previous time, these same blowers were recalled due to a fire hazard. There have been 13 incidents of injury. The model numbers involved are…Models EB8510 and EB8510RT. All models up to serial # 7014728 are included. Serial Numbers through February 2007 production (S/N 702XXXX) which are located on the side label. These machines are black and blue with a red and black label that reads, “EB8510, Shindaiwa.” STOP USING THE BACKPACK BLOWERS IMMEDIATELY!! For more information please contact Shindaiwa at (800) 521-7733 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.shindaiwa.com
2) T.J.Maxx/ Maran recall Squeeze Kids Girl’s Corduroy JACKETS. Voluntary recall. The children’s hooded jackets are being recalled due to choking hazard. Style number 4JZ642FK are printed on the care label sewn into the back collar area of the garment. The sweatshirts were sold in girls’ sizes small (7/8), medium (10), large (12/14) and x-large (16).

3) Manhattan Group recalls INFANT RATTLES. Voluntary recall. Choking hazard. The blue plastic end caps can break off making small parts and resulting in a choking hazard for small children.

4) Maple Chase recalls Carbon Monoxide & Carbon Monoxide/Smoke Combo ALARMS. Voluntary recall. Alarm malfunction. They give out a false alarm that owners manual says to take it out of service leaving the person without the alarm. Product involved…FireX Branded 10000 Series Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms and 12000 Series CO/Smoke Combo Alarms. The recall includes FireX branded 10000 and 12000 series alarms with item numbers: 10000, 12000, 12000C, 12000-6, 12200, 12220, 12400, 12400C manufactured between June 1, 2007 and February 1, 2008. The date code appears on the back of the unit with a four digit year, three digit month followed by the day (ex: 2007JUN1 for June 1, 2007). Units with a manufacture date code prior to June 1, 2007 are not included in this recall. Manufactured in Mexico. Contact Maple Chase immediately to receive a free comparable replacement alarm and make arrangements to return their recalled alarms. Consumers should not take the alarms out of service until they receive the replacement alarm.
5) Bayer recalls remaining Trasylol DRUGS. Most are used to control bleeding during heart surgery. Contact Bayer for more information
5) Johnson & Johnson recalls Procrit/ Remicade/ Doxil DRUGS. Voluntary recall. A truck carrying those particular drugs was stolen. They are recalling the drugs in an effort to stop a customer from receiving mishandled and potentially harmful drugs. Health-care providers and patients who received those drugs from an authorized distributor on or before May 7 should consider the product safe for use, J&J said. For more information please contact Johnson and Johnson.
