Kawasaki Brute Force™ 750 4x4i All-Terrain Vehicle

Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing

On some units, the nut which secures the front upper suspension arm pivot bolt could come loose during vehicle use. Continued use of the vehicle could allow the nut to come off, and the upper suspension A-arm pivot bolt to back partially out. This would result in a loss of steering control, and possibly cause the rider to crash and suffer injury or death.

Farm Teether Rattle

New England Sterling of Attleboro, Mass., for Tiffany and Company of New York, N.Y.

A metal bar on the rattle can break off during use, releasing small round beads and small farm animal figures that roll off the crossbar when the soldered joints break. The beads can pose an aspiration hazard to young children. The breakage also can create ragged edges on the ring, posing a laceration hazard.
