Recall Roundup: Extra Scary Edition
By Laura Northrup, 1:00 PM on Sat Oct 31 2009, 2,234 views

It's Halloween, and what's scarier than exploding DVD player batteries
and killer flatware? Or dairy lurking in an innocent-looking tortilla?
What about a zombie ATV that accelerates on its own?

Cambridge Silversmiths flatware: Plastic inserts can detach; choking
hazard
Coby Electronics portable DVD/CD/MP3 player batteries - fire hazard
Haunted House candle holders sold at Yankee candle - fire hazard
Bad Boy Buggy off-road vehicles - has rogue accelerator
Handy Switch Wireless Light Switches - fire hazard (see this post)
Roman shades sold at Bed Bath and Beyond and Whole Space -
strangulation hazard
Roller blinds from IKEA - strangulation hazard
Belkin SurgeMaster Surge Protectors - electric shock hazard
Sony VAIO AC adapters - electric shock hazard
Halloween flashlights from Target - burn hazard
Kroger Hazelnut Spread - undeclared peanuts
Agro Sun Dried Fruits and Nuts Tropical Mix - undeclared sulfites
Breyers All Natural ice cream - undeclared wheat
Dove Caramel Pecan Perfection Ice Cream - undeclared peanuts
Mrs. Rios and Pop's Bakery tortillas - undeclared dairy
Accusure Insulin Syringes - needles may detach

The CPSC has also put out a warning about My Baby Soother pacifiers,
which apparently pose a choking hazard. However, the manufacturer will
not recall the product, which was sold only in the New York metro
area.

It must be tough living life a a pathetic panic stricken individual.
Lots of luck getting help with that.

Unless I'm missing something, this is just stupid.

As I understand it, peanut allergies can result in serious
reactions to very small amounts. So affected people need
accurate info about the ingredients.

I'm thinking if it's called Hazelnut Spread or Pecan Perfection Ice
Cream, common sense would tell you it probably has nuts in it, although
it could just be flavoring.
