Several product recalls were announced March 12 involving bicycle helmets, playground swing seats, dressers and magnet games due to safety hazards.
ProRider recalled about 9,546 bicycle helmets because they violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets do not comply with impact attenuation, positional stability, labeling and certification requirements, which means they can fail to protect the user in a crash and pose a risk of serious injury or death from head injury. Consumers are advised to stop using the helmets immediately and contact ProRider for a full refund. To receive the refund, consumers must destroy the helmet by cutting the straps and send a photo of the destroyed helmet to org@prorider.com. ProRider can be reached at www.prorider.com or (800) 642-3123.
LFTE USA recalled about 7,200 playground swing set seats due to a fall hazard. The rivets used to support the swing seat can fail. Consumers should stop using the recalled swings immediately and contact LFTE USA for a free replacement swing seat. Little Tikes Commercial and Miracle Recreation Equipment have contacted all known purchasers directly. Consumers can email recall@lfteusa.com for more information.
Hong Kong Baojia International recalled about 3,000 17 Stories Furniture 14-drawer dressers because the dressers are unstable if not anchored to a wall, creating tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injury or death to children. The dressers violate the mandatory standard required by the STURDY Act. Consumers should stop using the recalled dressers if they are not anchored to the wall and place them in an area children cannot access. Consumers should contact Baojia_recall@outlook.com for instructions on how to identify affected units and dispose of the dressers for a full refund.
Stoney Games recalled about 151,600 Kluster Magnet Chess Games because the products contain loose high-powered magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder, creating an ingestion hazard to children. If swallowed, the magnets can attract each other or other metal objects inside the body, leading to perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death. Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet games immediately, take them away from children and contact Stoney Games for instructions on disposal and to receive replacement magnets that are not small parts. More information is available at www.klustermagnets.com/recall, by emailing klusterrecall@gmail.com or by calling (800) 362-0977.
Simplehome, through Amazon, recalled about 370 LIVEHOM 11-drawer dressers because the dressers are unstable if not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injury or death to children. The products violate the mandatory safety standard required by the STURDY Act. Consumers should stop using the recalled dressers immediately if they are not anchored to the wall and place them where children cannot access them. To receive a full refund, consumers should write “RECALL” on the dresser with permanent marker, send a photo to livehomerecall@163.com, and then dispose of the product.
