Recent product recalls
Recent product recalls include Boy Scout Wind Tech Jackets, Libbey glass fantasy bowls, Duttailier drop-side cribs, and football helmet chin straps.
The Boy Scout jackets contain a drawstring that poses a risk of strangulation and entrapment. For more information, visit the Scout Stuff website.
The Libbey glass bowls have been found to pose a laceration risk, because they can shatter during a sudden temperature change or impact. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)has details on which bowls are subject to the recall.
Dutailier has discovered that its drop-side cribs pose a serious danger to children. The slats on the drop side can come loose from the bottom and top railings, creating a space between slats. An infant or toddler can become trapped in this space, creating a serious risk strangulation and suffocation. CPSC has more information.
UA Defender chin straps, sold by Under Armour, are being recalled due to a sharp metal clasp. When a football player comes into contact with someone wearing the helmet, the sharp edges can cut the player’s skin. So far, six injuries requiring stitches have been reported.
