2 notices where the recalled products are steam cleaners.

The power cord can unexpectedly wear down and expose the wiring, posing a shock and burn hazard to consumers.

Steam can escape from the handle and trigger of the steam cleaner, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
One notice where the recalled product is a exercise equipment.

The written instructions incorrectly identify the proper location of the spring washer. An incorrectly installed spring washer can put undue stress on bolts, causing them to loosen, which poses a fall hazard to consumers.
Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced or restated recall once. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
