October 2002 recalls

API Outdoors Hunting Treestands

A cable that secures the treestand to the tree can break, posing the risk of falls and serious injuries to hunters.

Suzuki Motor All-Terrain Vehicles

Some of the ATVs were assembled with a wire harness that may have broken ground wire strands from an improperly crimped wire splice. Broken ground wire strands could result in electrical open circuits. An electrical open circuit could prevent the tail/stop lamp from illuminating or could cause the CDI-unit of the ignition to not function. If the CDI-unit does not function, the engine will stop running, possibly leaving the rider stranded away from his or her base of operation.

Cannondale Gemini Bicycles

The frames on some of these bicycles have been improperly manufactured, causing too much of the thickest portion of the downtube to be removed. This could cause the frame to break during use, resulting in falls and serious injury to riders.

IKEA Stuffed Teddy Bears

The plastic beads inside of the bears could come out of the seams, posing an aspiration hazard to young children, who could inhale the small beads.

W.C. Wood Dehumidifier

Internal wiring can abrade on metal parts, presenting a risk of electric shock to consumers if the insulation wears through.

Lida Bicycle Men's Bicycles

The frames of these bicycles can break apart, causing the rider to fall and suffer injuries.

Ceiling Fans

Fanimation Design and Manufacturing

The hanger bracket can break, which could cause the fan to fall from the ceiling and seriously injure anyone standing nearby.

Snapper Riding Lawn Mowers

The side discharge chute is defective. The material used to manufacture the side discharge chute is not strong enough to prevent projectiles from flying out from under the mower deck, exposing consumers and by-standers to possible injuries from flying debris.

BSH Home Appliances 45-Inch Electric Cook Tops

The cooking controls are miswired, which can pose a shock hazard to consumers.

BRIO Caterpillar Pull Toy

The antenna on the pull toy can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Baby Walkers

Oriental International Trading

The walkers will fit through a standard doorway and are not designed to stop at the edge of a step. Babies using these walkers can be seriously injured or killed if they fall down stairs.

Dollar Tree Stores Stuffed Pool Animal

The seams can separate, exposing the polyester stuffing and foam beads. The foam beads pose a choking hazard to young children.
