CPSC, Ace Hardware Corp. Announce Recall of Vinyl Window Blinds
Ace Hardware Corp., of Oak Brook, Ill.

These blinds contain lead exceeding government guidelines, and do not have required labeling warning they contain lead. Over time, vinyl deteriorates from exposure to sunlight and heat, forming lead dust on the surface of the blind. Young children can ingest lead by wiping their hands on the blinds and then putting their hands in their mouths. Lead poisoning in children is associated with behavioral problems, learning disabilities, hearing problems and growth retardation.

CPSC, Federated Department Stores Announce Recall of Children's Robes
Federated Department Stores Inc., of Cincinnati, Ohio

These robes, when used as sleepwear, fail to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear. The standards require sleepwear, including robes, to be flame resistant, and if the garment ignites, the flame must self-extinguish. Failure to meet the flammability standards presents a risk of serious burn injuries to children.
