RECALL ALERT: iPod, Strollers, Blender, Pampered Chef...

Is it supposed to do that?

Following is an abbreviated list of recalled items to keep you and your family safe.  Items made the list because they have a design or mechanical flaw that could potentially be harmful or deadly.  If you have a product that you feel is dangerous, call the manufacturer and report it to the appropriate government agency.  Input from consumers helps to keep products safe.  If you have been injured call Buttafuoco & Associates right away at 1-800-669-4878.

Warmer weather means it's time for recreation and relaxation, but before you go for a jog, put in the earbuds, blend up a refreshing drink, or cool off with an ice-cream cone, make sure you won't be using any of these recalled products:

  • iPod Nano:  Products may overheat and pose a safety risk. Malfunction increases with age.
  • B.O.B. single and double strollers: The stroller canopy's embroidered logo's backing patch can detach, posing a choking hazard to babies and young children
  • Chefmate 6-speed Blender:  All units were sold at Target.  While in operation, the plastic pitcher can separate from the blade assembly, leaving the blade assembly in the base and exposing the rotating blades.  This poses a laceration hazard.
  • Pampered Chef ice-cream dippers:  When the liquid-filled scoop is exposed to warm water, the cap and seal at the end of the scoop handle can fly off with substantial force, posing an impact injury hazard to those nearby.

Good thing they did recall that strollers. Unsafe and very dangerous to kids.
