California Innovations, Inc. recalls lunch boxes

Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 at 7:28 pm    

California Innovations, Inc. is voluntarily recalling almost 250,000 Ci Sport insulated lunch box sets for a potential chemical leak in the freezer gel packs.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the company received two reports of dogs ingesting the freezer gel packs. One dog died while the other was able to recover. The gel packs contain diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol, which can be dangerous to humans.

The Ci Sport lunch box set came with the freezer gel packs and an aluminum bottle. The lunch boxes were sold at Costco, Leon Korol, and Cost U Less stores from May 2007 to September 2008. Consumers can return the lunch boxes to Costo for a free refund.

Ikea issues worldwide recall of high chairs

Posted on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 at 5:27 pm    

Millions of Ikea’s “Antilop” plastic high chairs are being recalled after the company received eight complaints worldwide of children falling out of the chair. Three children sustained minor injuries after their fall.

Nearly 169,000 of the “Antilop” high chairs sold in North America and 1.2 million in Europe are affected by the recall. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the belt restraint on the chair can unexpectedly become unbuckled, creating the falling hazard.

The “Antilop” high chair came in white, red, and blue plastic seats with removable silver legs. Consumers who have purchased the product should stop using it immediately and can bring it to any Ikea location for a free belt restraint replacement.
