Cosmos Gifts
Hazard: The scented oil can drip, causing the nightlight base to crack or break, exposing electrical wire or metal parts inside the nightlight, thus causing a potential shock hazard. There is also a risk of cuts, if the nightlight breaks.
Coaster
Hazard: A gap between the step of the built-in ladder and the top bunk allows enough room for a child's body to slip through but will not allow for a child's head to pass through. This poses a serious strangulation risk. Federal standards for bunk beds are designed to protect children against entrapment and strangulation.
E and B Giftware
Hazard: Multiple metal plugs can be extended from the product at one time. Consumers touching an exposed plug, while the adaptor is inserted into an electric outlet, can receive an electric shock.
L&N Sales and Marketing
Hazard: The sweeper can overheat, posing a fire hazard.
LP and Convertible Gas
Hazard: The gas water heater controls can gradually open instead of snapping open to full flow, which can cause soot to build up on the water heater burner, presenting a fire hazard.
CFM
Hazard: The circuit board can overheat and catch fire, posing a burn and fire hazard.
Ashley Furniture Industries
Hazard: There are gaps between parts of the bunk bed that violate federal safety standards and can be entrapment or strangulation hazards to children. For model B383, the gap between the end rails on the upper bunk is too large. For models B213 and B233, the gap between the guardrails of the upper bunk can be widened with pressure, presenting an entrapment hazard. Federal standards for bunk beds are designed to protect children against entrapment and strangulation.
American Standard
Hazard: Overheating of the wiring in the accessory heater can lead to wall thermostat fires.
Gasoline-Powered Professional
Hazard: The muffler's retaining bolts can allow the muffler to come loose from the engine while the hedge trimmer is in operation. A loose muffler can contact and damage the fuel tank, creating a fire hazard.
Ethan Allen
Hazard: A metal "j" hook on the guardrails can become dislodged, allowing the guardrail to slide or move out of position. This can allow the guardrail to detach from the bunk bed or allow the occupant to roll off the top bunk.
Sauder Woodworking
Hazard: The carts can tip over and injure or kill children and adults when the cart and the television fall.
