Indoor Lighting Fixtures Recalled by Lithonia Lighting Due to Fire Hazard

Sleep Innovations Recalls Pillows Sold Exclusively at Costco; Metal Fragments Pose Abrasion Hazard
The pillows can contain small metal fragments in the fiber-fill as a result of a mechanical breakdown in the manufacturing process. The metal fragments can cause abrasions and cuts to consumers.


New Federal Law Mandates Child Resistant Portable Gasoline Containers
Children and gasoline don't mix. With the passage of the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act, an additional layer of fire safety and burn protection has been added for families across the country.


SunL Group Inc. Recalls Youth ATVs Due To Safety Defects
The youth ATV lacks front brakes, a manual fuel shut-off, and padding to cover the sharp edges on the handlebar assembly. Additionally, the vehicle is sold without a tire pressure gauge or adequate flag pole bracket. The defects could lead to young drivers losing control of the ATVs, which poses the risk of serious injuries or death.


Log Splitter Engines Recalled By American Honda Motor Co. Due to Fire Hazard
The engine's fuel tank can crack and leak, posing a risk of fire or explosion.


Studio RTA Recalls TV Stands Due to TV Tip-over Hazard
The stability of the stand does not meet industry standards to prevent TV tip-over, posing a risk of injury or death to consumers.


All-Terrain Vehicles Recalled By American Honda Motor Co. Due to Risk of Loss of Control Hazard
If the ATV's rubber CV (constant velocity) boots get punctured or torn the joint will become contaminated and severe binding of the CV joints could occur, resulting in the sudden loss of steering control. This poses a risk of injury or death to riders.


Bench Scale Adapters Recalled by American Weigh Scales Due to Fire Hazard
The recalled bench scale adapters can smoke, catch fire and melt, posing a fire hazard to consumers.


Propane Storage Tanks Recalled By American Welding & Tank Due to Risk of Gas Leak; Can Pose Fire and Burn Hazard
An odorant is added to propane to help alert customers to propane leaks, but rust inside a propane tank can cause the odor to fade. Some converted above-ground to underground converted tanks can have an increased susceptibility to odor fade, causing consumers to be unable to detect the odor of propane in the event of a gas leak. This can pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers if there is a leak in the propane gas system.


Polaris Industries Inc. Recalls Snowmobiles Due to Risk of Injury to Riders
Cracks could form in the starter ring-gear and cause the ring-gear to fracture into several pieces. The broken pieces could be propelled out of the chassis of the machine at high speed causing serious injury or death to the rider and/or bystanders.


Lip Gloss and Jewelry Sets Sold Exclusively at Wal-Mart Recalled by F.A.F. Inc. Due to Risk of Lead Exposure
The lobster claw clasp on the bracelet contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested and can cause adverse health effects.
