RECALLS THIS WEEK: Magnetic Boards, TV Wall Mounts, and Other Product Recalls
 
Special to Huntingtonnews.net
 
Lakeshore Learning Materials is recalling magnetic maze boards sold nationwide from January 2009 to May 2010. The magnetic maze board’s plastic wand can separate and expose a magnet that can be a choking hazard. Also, if a child has more than one of these toys and the magnets detach and are swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages.
 
This recall involves wooden magnetic maze boards. The wooden boards have a clear plastic sheet that covers small wooden or plastic pieces located inside a maze.. The top of the board reads: “Who’s Hiding in the Garden?,” “Who’s Hiding in the Ocean?,” “Magnetic Counting Maze,” “Magnetic Alphabet Board” or “My Community Magnetic Board.”
 
Consumers should contact Lakeshore at (800) 428-4414 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.lakeshorelearning.com to receive a free replacement product. More info at www.recalls.org.
 
 
TV WALL MOUNTS
 
Milestone AV Technologies LLC is recalling flat screen television wall mounts sold nationwide from June 2009 to July 2010. The elbow joint components on the wall mount’s arm do not fit together properly, causing the attached television to tilt and possibly fall when the television is adjusted. This could pose an injury hazard.
 
This recall involves the Sanus Vision Mount model LF228-B1 wall mounts and Simplicity model SLF2. The wall mounts were sold for flat screen televisions. The model numbers can be found on the UL sticker on the wall plate.
 
Consumers should contact Milestone at (877) 894-6280 between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday and between 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Saturday through Sunday or visit www.milestone.com/recall for a free replacement wall mount arm. More info at www.recalls.org.
 
 
GAS SMOKERS
 
Char-Broil LLC is recalling Char-Broil vertical gas smokers sold nationwide from March 2008 to June 2010. When the temperature setting is in "low," the smoker's hose/valve/regulator (HVR) assembly does not allow sufficient gas to flow, causing the flame to extinguish. Gas continues to flow and build up inside the smoker. If the smoker is reignited the build-up of propane gas can cause an explosion that bursts the smoker's door open, posing an injury hazard.
 
This recall involves the Char-Broil vertical gas smokers with model number 07701413. The model number is printed on a metal tag located on the right rear leg of the smoker. The smoker measures 21.5" x 19.5" x 45.5" and weighs 75 pounds. A "G" inside a triangle is printed on the regulator.
 
Consumers should contact Char-Broil at (866) 671-7988 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.charbroil.com for a free replacement hose/valve/regulator assembly and installation instructions. More info at www.recalls.org.

BABY HAMMOCKS
 
MamaLittleHelper is recalling Infant and Toddler Hammocks sold from May 2008 to February 2010. The side-to-side shifting or tilting of the hammock can cause the infant to roll and become entrapped or wedged against the hammock's fabric and/or mattress pad, resulting in a suffocation hazard.

They have a steel frame and a fabric hammock with a mattress which are connected by a large spring, safety rope and a metal hanger. Model BL222 has a computerized rocker device.

MamaLittleHelper LLC is recalling Infant and Toddler Hammock Metal Stands sold from December 2009 to February 2010. The C-shaped metal stand can break where the curved arm attaches to the leg of the metal frame, posing a fall hazard to an infant in the hammock.
