RECALLS: Strollers Pose Abrasion Hazard
By HNN Staff, with information supplied by www.recalls.org
Regal Lager Inc. is recalling Phil & Teds e3 Strollers with doubles
seats
sold nationwide from July 2005 to November 2006. Children can touch the
rear
tires when in the stroller’s add-on seat. This can pose an abrasion
hazard.
This recall involves the e3 Buggy, which is a three-wheeled stroller
with a
black steel tubing frame. An additional seat, known as a “Doubles Kit,”
can
be added directly behind the main stroller’s seat allowing a second
child to
ride in the stroller.
Consumers should contact Regal Lager at (800) 593-5522 between 9 a.m.
and 5
p.m. ET Monday through Friday, for free additional rear wheel guards.

TRIM KITS FOR LIGHT FIXTURES CAN MELT
Progress Lighting Inc., is recalling Trim Assembly Kits for Recessed
Light
Fixtures sold nationwide from July 2006 to December 2006. Heat from the
light bulb can cause the fixture’s plastic trim to soften and melt,
causing
the trim and lens to fall. This can result in laceration injuries.
Trim assembly kits involved in this recall attach to recessed light
fixtures
installed primarily in bathroom ceilings. The trim assemblies include a
7
3/4-inch white plastic ring, a glass lens and a metal reflector.
Affected
models were made in China and have model numbers: 8009-60, 8010-60 or
8011-60.
Consumers should contact Progress Lighting at (877) 369-4548 between 8
a.m.
and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to arrange for installation of a
replacement trim ring. Consumers can also visit
