The following model numbers from the Honeywell Select Series portable electric heaters are affected by the recall:
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that Chariot child bicycle trailers have been recalled due to potential detachment.
The recall affects approximately 70,000 bicycle trailer conversion kits and 44,000 bicycle trailers manufactured by Thule Child Transport Systems Ltd., d/b/a Chariot Carriers, based in Calgary, Canada.

There have been 24 reports worldwide -- with 3 in the U.S. -- of incidences regarding the bicycle trailer detaching. Thankfully, there have been no confirmed reports of injury as of this posting.
These trailers were sold at bicycle shops in the United States and online from a variety of websites.

The bicycle trailer conversion kits were sold between October 2002 and August 2011, ranging from $40 to $70.
Consumers are advised to cease using the product and call Chariot Carriers in order to receive a repair kit at no cost.

In a news report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Nordica USA is accepting a $214,000 civil penalty after failing to report defective skis. If you have been injured from a defective product, a Pennsylvania defective product attorney can help.
This settlement stems from claims that expressed Nordica USA purposely failed to report a safety defect with the XBi ALU skis binding plates, which could break or crack leading to a fall hazard.
In the fall of 2008, Nordica USA was notified of about 200 reports pertaining to the skis either cracking or breaking. However, the company failed to disclose this information to the CPSC and continues to deny that they knowingly violated the law in any capacity.
Eventually (in Feb. 2009), a recall on the skis was issued and there have been no reports so far of injuries. However, federal law mandates that manufacturers, distributors and retailers contact CPSC as soon as they are aware of any defect in a product which could lead to a serious or fatal injury.
If you were injured by a defective product that caused you or a loved one serious harm, you should discuss your case with a Pennsylvania defective product attorney.
