Dorel Car Seat Recall
Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) recalled 794,247 child safety seats on February 15, 2011. The recall was issued because the locking and release button sticks and does not always return to its locked position. If the button is not in the locked position, the harness could loosen during use and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The recalled car seats were manufactured from May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009, and sold under the Cosco, Maxi-Cosi and Safety 1st brands. Included in this recall are infant, convertible and booster child restraint systems which were sold both as stand-alone seats or part of a travel system (car and stroller purchased together). The models included were Alpha Omega, Alpha Omega Elite, Enspira, Priori, Prospect, Vantage, Mico and OnBoard.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began investigating the sticking harness button on March 5, 2010. They will continue the investigation to further evaluate the adequacy of the recall scope.

It is recommended that when a parent or caregiver puts a child in a car seat, they should make sure the harness is properly adjusted and the lock/release button is in the locked position. After making any needed adjustments, pull on the shoulder part of the harness to make sure it is secure and does not loosen.
Dorel Juvenile Group has had other recalls: Dorel Recalls, Dorel Lawsuit Attorney
Bravo Sports Trampoline Recall
Bravo Sports of Santa Fe Springs, California, recalled about 160,000 Bravo Sports trampolines. This recall involves AirZone and Variflex trampolines with model numbers 137083 (with wheels), 137536, 137683, 138088, 138467, 138472, 138489, 139275, 139283, 139284, 139300 and 139706. The model number is found on the safety label sewn to the pad cover. The units are 12’, 13’ and 14’ and come in blue, yellow and red. The recalled trampolines were manufactured in China.
According to Bravo Sports, incorrectly assembled trampolines can allow the top rails and legs to bend or break during normal use, resulting in partial collapse of the trampoline. This poses a fall hazard to consumers. Bravo Sports has received 247 reports of top rails bending or breaking during normal use. Four injuries have been reported due to the bending and breaking of trampolines.
If you have a recalled trampoline, stop using it.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trampolines. Consumers should contact Bravo Sports for instructions on how to inspect the trampoline for top rail damage and to request revised assembly instructions. Top rails and legs damaged due to assembly errors will be replaced at no charge by Bravo Sports.
If your child has been injured on a trampoline, you can request a free consultation with a lawyer at Pritzker Olsen by calling 1-888-377-8900 (toll free) or submitting the firm’s contact form.
Alexander Designs Drop-Side Cribs Recall
A recall of Alexander Designs drop-side cribs was prompted by two reports of incidents involving drop-side malfunctions. In one incident, which involved a crib that had been misassembled, the plastic hardware broke and the drop-side rail fell unexpectedly. In a second incident, a hardware failure caused the drop-side rail to detach from the crib. No injuries were reported.
Sleep Positioner Recall Lawsuit
Our law firm is representing a family whose baby was suffocated by a defective product. Contact Attorney Fred Pritzker about a sleep positioner wrongful death lawsuit.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have warned consumers to stop using infant sleep positioners. Over the past 13 years, CPSC and the FDA have received 12 reports of infants between the ages of 1 month and 4 four months who died when they suffocated in sleep positioners or became trapped and suffocated between a sleep positioner and the side of a crib or bassinet.
Jo-Ann Fabric Recall of Bamboo Blinds
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores has added its name to the retailers joining the voluntary recall announced in December 2009 of ALL Roman shades and roll-up blinds:
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is announcing that multiple firms are recalling millions of units of Window coverings, including Roman shades and roll-up blinds. These window coverings present a serious risk of strangulation to young children.
Pro-Pac Distribution Corporation Get Fine for Failing to Report that it Distributed Sweatshirts with Drawstrings at the Neck
Pro-Pac Distributing Corporation, of Gardena, Calif., has agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $125,000. The penalty settlement resolves allegations that Pro-Pac knowingly failed to report to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) immediately that two different children’s hooded sweatshirts it imported and distributed had drawstrings at the neck. About 7,000 of the recalled sweatshirts were sold under the ProClub label at various retailers in Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas, Nevada from November 2008 through December 2008 for around $20.
