Action Line Consumer Alert Recalled Items Aug 11-15

By Vanessa Stewart

Preventing injuries caused by consumer products is the job of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Here is a look at recalled items in this week's Action Line Consumer Alert.

"Perfect Flame" four burner gas grills are being recalled because of more than 150 fires.

The grills are sold at Lowe's.

The problem is with the cooking chamber of the grill which can melt and ignite.

Next Fisher Price has recalled its Learning Pots & Pans toys.
Missing screws can cause the cover to detach releasing small balls that young keiki could choke on.

After 14 reports of injuries, Atico International USA has recalled its personal blenders.
The base of the blender is the hazard.

The recall includes the Signature Gourmet & Crofton models and were sold at Walgreens nationwide.

The white blenders have 3 parts with these numbers.

And finally,
Toolmaker Dewalt recalled its "Cordless Brad Nailers."
The nailer can operate when the tool is in the locked position and when the trigger is not pulled.

If you have consumer concerns call Action Line at 591-0222 Monday thru Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
