67 supported household-product notices published in 2005, from official CPSC data.
Hewlett-Packard
Hazard: An internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat and melt or char the plastic case, posing a burn and fire hazard.
Design Ideas
Hazard: The chair and ottoman do not have locking zippers or warning labels. CPSC is aware of children who have died from suffocation when they unzipped, inhaled and ingested small pellets in similar bean bag furniture.
A.O. Smith Water Products
Hazard: The water heaters can accumulate soot on the burners, posing a fire hazard.
Maytag Front-Loading
Hazard: If the front-load washer is operated at maximum load capacity, the spinner could malfunction and break apart, posing a safety risk to consumers.
Automatic Defrost Upright
Hazard: The defrost heater coil can become exposed inside the units, which poses a potential shock hazard to consumers. In some cases, the exposed heater wire can also melt, or burn the unit's interior plastic food liner.
Robertshaw Controls
Hazard: Screws on some water heater valves could break. If this happens, gas could leak from the valve, which poses a risk of gas explosion and fire.
The Brinkmann
Hazard: The regulators on these gas grills, the components that control the amount of gas released to the burner, could leak gas when attached to certain liquid propane tanks. This poses a risk of fire and burn injuries.
Nexgrill Industries
Hazard: The hose connecting the propane tank with the manifold can run up too close to the firebox. The heat from the firebox can damage the hose, causing it to leak gas. The release of gas creates a fire risk that could cause injury and property damage.
The Coleman
Hazard: The regulators on these products can leak propane when the propane cylinder is turned on and the product is not in use. This can pose a fire or explosion hazard.
Ultimate Chopper
Hazard: The interlocking lid assembly on the appliance can malfunction, allowing the food processor to be operated when the lid is off. This can result in a laceration or fingertip amputation hazard, if consumers insert their hands into the food processor.
Nexgrill Industries
Hazard: A hose connecting the natural gas source to the grill's main manifold may not have been supplied with these grills. Without this hose, the gas would be emitted into the air, creating a potential fire hazard. Consumers should not use the grill until the main burner hose is provided.
JS Products
Hazard: The battery packs on these drill/drivers can overheat, expand and possibly rupture, creating an explosion or thermal burn hazard.
