Today I thought I'd pass on these very, very important product recalls. One recall involves a dresser that tips over. A toddler death has been associated with this recall. A Walmart trampoline is in the list, and more non-digestable magnets are again on the list. And there's also a stroller that has a strangulation hazard associated. Also, there's a very popular over-the-counter flu medicine being recalled due to poison risk.
There's more in the list, so read on and find out!
And first thing's first... as with any recalled product, consumers should IMMEDIATELY stop using the product in question.
Did you know it's illegal to resell products that are being recalled?
And one more "Did You Know" that's actually kind of scary:
"Every two weeks a child dies when a piece of furniture or a television falls on them." Anchor your stuff folks and pay attention to some of these recalls!!!
ALL of the below recalls can be researched for more details at the CPSC website, at [http://www.cpsc.gov/]. In fact, I recommend/urge you to check it out. There are many more recalls to be aware of.
