I just read this article of the weeks latest recalls… it can be found here.
I just want to make a few points here…
* McNeil Consumer Healthcare recalled millions of packages of Children’s Benadryl and Motrin because of issues in the manufacturing process.
– Why aren’t there any listed risks here? There are millions of these packages being recalled and my kids, like yours, are way too important to not know more about what these manufacturing “issues” were and what they could mean to our children if ingested.
* Bassett Furniture recalled about 90,000 drop-side cribs sold over the last decade after reports of the drop side malfunctioning.
– Over the last decade? It took you ten F***ing years to realize kids are crawling out of their beds without having to climb over because your POS Crib isn’t doing its ONLY JOB.
* Coca-Cola recalled more than 80,000 glasses after tests found the toxic metal cadmium was used in the glass’ decoration.
– Cadmium is commonly found in paint so this isn’t quite as bad. It’s just Coca-Cola… I’d expect better of them, I’m happy it wasn’t a recall on an actual beverage, but, none-the-less, you are #1 in Beverages globally and the 73rd largest corporation in America… get it together.
* MTD Consumer Group Inc. recalled about 200 Cub Cadet Volunteer utility vehicles because the front lower ball joint may detach, causing a loss of steering, said the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The utes were sold at Cub Cadet dealers nationwide between April 2010 and September 2010 for between $6,800 and $9,800. The CPSC lists the model numbers involved in the recall.
– Volunteer work is voluntary. Steering however, is not. Not a huge recall; 200 vs. the millions of Childrens Benedryl Bottles they recalled and it’s automotive, nothing should hit the road that needs to be recalled, shit happens though.
* Robert Bosch Tool Corp. recalled about 20,000 Bosch hammer drills because the grounding system could create a electrical shock hazard and the drill’s switch can get stuck in the “on” position, the CPSC said. The drills were sold at home improvement, hardware and retail stores nationwide from September 2009 through August 2010 for between $140 and $220. Consumers should return the drill to the company for repair. CPSC lists the model numbers affected by the recall.
– Not only does this problem sound annoying, it is really dangerous. Say your screwing in a tight space, you get your screw in and as soon as your done, the drill keeps going, stripping your screw, and potentially ripping into anything in your tight area… hopefully not you!
* A stainless steel carafe sold at Macy’s stores and website was recalled because the handle can come loose and cause a spill.
– This just sucks… the handle just breaks, this sounds like something I did not too long ago. The way Macy’s is taking the hit here for the mishap is tell-tale of big companies using their name in the recall instead of the brand so that their business relationship can continue. Imagine if you knew who made that carafe, you wouldn’t buy their carafe, but Macy’s has many carafes, so shop on consumer!
* Meijer recalled a ceramic heater because the oscillating mechanism can short out and catch fire. Meijer got two reports of fires.
– You make a heater Meijer, it has two jobs, get warm, and be safe. That’s it. This recall comes with the nature of the beast so I won’t rip in but, Meijer, how many are there, I know there’s more than just one.. and why would you launch this without testing it to break point?
* VOS Sports Inc. recalled about 11,700 children’s hooded jackets and sweatshirts because they have a drawstring that can possibly strangle kids. The VOS Sports clothing was sold at outlet stores nationwide between January 2005 and February 2010 for between $17 and $34 each. CPSC lists the clothing styles affected by the recall. Consumers can either take the drawstrings off the jackets and sweatshirts or return them to VOS Sports for a refund.
– WTF! AGAIN WITH THE KIDS.. you make a jacket that small, here’s what you do… STEP 1: add safety features STEP 2: remove safety hazards. THATS ABOUT IT, right? The worst part of this one for me, other than their website sucking off the 90′s like Jenna Jamison, is their slogan on their site; “better image through quality and craftsmanship.” – Stop strangling kids and we might believe that. Either that or market to terrorists as the jacket with the guaranteed kill!
* Taper candles sold at Yankee Candle shops nationwide were recalled because the metallic paint can catch fire.
– Really? Did they read the label on the paint and see it said “Flammable”? and if they did, what made them forget they were painting candles?
* L.L. Bean recalled a folding camp rocker after getting reports of plastic pieces breaking and dumping consumers out of the chairs.
– TO EVERYONE IN BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY LL BEAN – STOP USING SHITTY PARTS! MAKE PROFITS BY USING QUALITY PARTS AND PRODUCING HONEST WORK.
* Krunchers Inc. recalled 18 cases of Jays Original Potato Chips because seasoning on the chips has a milk ingredient that wasn’t declared on the packaging. The chips were distributed at stores in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. The FDA lists the product code of the 12-ounce bags affected.
– Small order didn’t have the full ingredient list… this is a pretty honest recall. Too bad for all those who weren’t supposed to have milk :0
* Artisan Confections Co. of Oregon recalled 33 cases of its Dagoba Organic Chocolate new moon Rich Dark Chocolate 74% cacao in 0.32-ounce squares because they may be contaminated with salmonella, the CPSC said. The chocolate was sold online and through natural and specialty food stores nationwide. The FDA listed the label codes.
– Salmonella, again? Damn you Artisan Confections! This is just a lack of good health processes and checking. I won’t be visiting their site.
* Costco warned consumers that Bravo Farms of California recalled all of its cheese — including varieties carried by Costco — after tests showed its plant was contaminated by e. coli and listeria bacteria.
– Like Macy’s before, Costco is in this recall, but they are pointing out, Bravo Farms FUCKED UP, not Costco. e. coli and listeria bacteria are common terms in recalls and can both be fatal.
* Full Speed Ahead recalled about 9,300 of its BB30 Gossamer crank sets that were installed on a number of bicycle makes because non-drive crank arm bolt shoulder can crack and the arm can fall off. A crank set is what attaches the chain and pedals to the bicycle. The company has gotten 11 reports of crashes with two consumers hurt. The sets were sold as standard equipment on bicycles at independent retailers nationwide between February 2010 and October 2010. The CPSC lists numerous bicycle brand names affected by the recall including Cannondale and Raleigh.
– AGAIN, – TO EVERYONE IN BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY LL BEAN – STOP USING SHITTY PARTS! MAKE PROFITS BY USING QUALITY PARTS AND PRODUCING HONEST WORK. CANNONDALE? RALEIGH? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS?
* About 1,000 Ski-Doo Snowmobiles were recalled because electrostatic charges can spark in the fuel tank when the engine is idling, risking an explosion, the CPSC said. BRP US Inc. of Wisconsin has gotten three reports of explosions, one resulting in minor burns to a consumer’s face and hands. The snowmobiles were sold nationwide between March 2004 and March 2010 for between $9,000 and 10,000. Consumers should contact a Ski-Doo dealer for a free repair. The CPSC lists the model name.
– You thought Jesus walking on water was cool? Watch this… C’mon now, you didn’t test the idle state of your vehicle before selling it… what were you thinking?
* Somfy Systems Inc. recalled about 4,600 motorized awnings because the power cable can be severed while being opened and closed, putting consumers at risk of electrical shock, the CPSC said. The recall includes the Sunea CMO RTS motor in the awning. The awning were sold at retailers nationwide from December 2009 through September 2010. Consumers should contact Somfy for an installation of a replacement motor. The CPSC lists the model number affected by the recall.
– You guys didn’t open and close your awning before selling it? This is just retarded, you built a cord to sit between a scissor. Really? Why are you in business?
Ok, there it is. That was fun… can’t wait to see your thoughts.
