Simplicity Drop Side Cribs Recalled by Retailers Due to Risk of Death from Suffocation The crib's plastic hardware can break or deform, causing the drop side to detach. When the drop side detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped which can lead to suffocation. Intermatic Recalls In-Wall Timers Due to Shock Hazard When consumers trying to replace the timer's battery place a metal object through the battery tray slot, the object can reach internal metal contacts, posing a shock hazard to consumers. Lamps Recalled by LTD Commodities LLC, ABC Distributing and the Lakeside Collection Due to Fire Hazard The lamps overheat causing the vinyl coating on the cord to burst and melt, posing a fire hazard to consumers. Polaris Recalls Snowmobiles Due to Loss of Control Hazard Bolts on the rear suspension can break causing the rail tip to become dislodged and interfere with the snowmobile's track. This can cause the track to lock up and the rider to lose control of the snowmobile, posing a risk of injury.

In 2007, CPSC had reports of eleven deaths and an estimated 9,800 injuries.

Big Muddy Motor Sports Recalls Generators Due to Fire Hazard The 220-volt receptacle can fail to produce power correctly and cause power surges that can damage appliances. This poses a risk of fire and possible injury to consumers. DEWALT Recalls Framing Nailers Due to Serious Injury Hazard The bump action trigger on the framing nailers could have been incorrectly assembled during production, which would allow the nailer to eject a fastener unexpectedly or cause the trigger lock-off not to function.
