Below are a few recalls on popular products that I've run across recently. Hopefully none of them affect you. If you want to stay on top of the latest safety recalls, you can add the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website to your list of browser favorites.
CYBEX strollers: risk of finger injury due to hinge mechanism. Ruby, Onyx and Topaz models sold Aug-Nov 2009.
Disney princess items: Tiny Tink toy jewelry sets by Playmates toys violate lead regulations and The Princess and the Frog metal necklaces sold at Wal-Mart have high levels of cadmium.
Zippo candle lighters: sold at Bath & Body Works and White Barn Candle Co, these lighters can be a burn hazard due to excessive flame at max setting.
Starbucks glass water bottles: lacerations can occur when removing or inserting the stopper. Sold exclusively at locations inside Safeways and Targets. When returned, receive refund and complimentary beverage.
There are additional recalls listed on the CPSC's website.
