69 supported household-product notices published in 2002, from official CPSC data.
Adams Manufacturing
Hazard: Some of the legs on these chairs were mis-assembled by the installer and a piece of the chair could be bent out of shape. This can allow the chair to collapse during use, causing consumers to suffer injuries from falls.
Crate & Barrel
Hazard: The media cart has metal and plastic casters that can break, causing a television or other objects on the cart to fall and injure consumers nearby.
Hustler "FasTrak" riding lawn
Hazard: Excessive heat, vibrations and wear causes the fuel line to droop over time and rub against the transmission fan, causing the fuel line to be cut. This poses a fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries to consumers.
MTD Products
Hazard: The lawn mowers have a rear-mounted grass bag that does not seal properly to the rear door of the mower, allowing grass and other debris to be thrown out at the top of the bag. This could result in injury to the operator or bystanders.
STK International Inc., Los Angeles, Calif.
Hazard: The cords have undersized wires, presenting a shock hazard to consumers.
Flat Rock Grill
Hazard: The glass casing of the thermometer displays attached to these grills can break or shatter, posing a risk of cuts or other serious injuries to consumers.
Quantum North America
Hazard: The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.
Aroma Housewares
Hazard: The juicer's filter and lid can break apart and project metal and plastic into the air, causing injuries to consumers.
Snapper lawn
Hazard: The walk-behind lawn mowers' side discharge deflector, which is sold as an accessory for these models, is defective. The material used to manufacture the side discharge deflector 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.
Combination washer and gas
Hazard: The gas dryer can overheat, posing a fire hazard.
Bath & Body Works
Hazard: The stainless steel blade on the shaver can cut consumers and cause injury.
In-Sink-Erator
