Other Recalls
A missing screw can cause the chain brake to fail to operate, presenting a laceration hazard to consumers. The seats were sold without a seat belt, posing a risk to children who climb out of the seat.
Problems with the circuits are rendering some of the Remote Controlled Race Cars inoperable. These cars can overheat and emit smoke and may pose a potential burn hazard. The thermometers contain a liquid that is flammable and a hazardous substance that could be harmful or fatal if swallowed.
The recalled units can "lock-up" and stop working. When the tester "locks-up" it stops working for approximately 8 minutes without warning. Consumers testing electrical sources could fail to be warned of the presence of live current if the tester is not properly operating, posing a risk of shock, electrocution, and thermal burns.
