| June 19, 2009 at 1:31 pm |
|
A Nestle cookie dough recall has just been issued for their Toll House brand ready to bake cookie dough after a report that several people got sick after eating the dough raw. Several outbreaks of E-coli after consumption of eating the dough has sparked suspicions of contamination. E-coli can also be spread through cross contamination after one touches the tough and then touches something else. (Bummer.) The FDA is reporting that 66 people may be ill from the cookie dough in over 25 states. Thankfully, there have been no deaths thus far however E-coli bacteria can cause severe illness including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and bloody stools. (Ewww.) Nestle acted on the recall quickly and are asking people to throw out any Toll House Cookie Dough products they currently have stored in their homes.

| LaJobi drop side cribs recalled |
| June 10, 2009 at 9:23 am |
|
About 2,900 of the affected cribs are the Bonavita Hudson and Babi Itilia Pinehurst brands/models — they have a possible defect in the the lower spring pins, which can cause the drop side to detach from the crib and create a hazardous gap. The cribs were manufactured between December 2006 through August 2007. The Babi Italia Pinehurst crib was sold exclusively at Babies ‘R Us, and the Bonavita Hudson was sold at children’s specialty stores nationwide, both for around $300. About 2,000 of the Bonavita Cabana drop side cribs are being recalled due to the wooden side crib slats, which have been reported to break and/or fall out of the rails also creating a dangerous gap for baby’s head to get caught in. This crib was manufactured between January 2006 through October 2008. The crib was sold at specialty stores nationwide for around $450. All cribs affected by the recall can be identified by a label attached to the bottom of either the headboard or footboard. Parents are urged to stop using the crib immediately, and to contact LaJobi for replacement crib side rails or a free, professional installation of a retrofit hardware kit (depending on the type of crib) that will eliminate the problem. Find out more info at LaJobi’s website. Tags: babi italia pinehurst crib recall, bonavita cabana crib recall, bonavita hudson crib recall, Crib Recalls, lajobi crib recallBookmark to:

| Nordstrom girl’s shoes recalled for lead |
| March 23, 2009 at 3:57 pm |
|
We think the whole lead paint thing may have just jumped the shark. Nordstrom is recalling its line of “Fab” girl’s shoes, because the outer sole contains an amount of lead over the federal lead paint standard. We’re talking about shoes that go all the way up to a big kids size 7, are children that age really sticking their shoes in their mouths? Petter safe than sorry, we guess. The shoe styles included are “Clarice-Fab”, “Eva-Fab”, “Fern-Fab”, “Lilly-Fab”, “Rita-Fab”, and “Vivi-Fab”. The shoes were sold at — naturally — Nordstrom stores nationwide between September 2006 through February 2009 for between $35 - $45. Parents are being urged to rip these shoes right off their little one’s feet and take them back to Nordstrom for a full refund or exchange.

| Stork Craft baby cribs recalled |
| January 15, 2009 at 5:41 pm |
|
Stork Craft Manufacturing is recalling over a half a million cribs, because of reports of the metal support brackets that support the mattress cracked and broke. This caused the mattress platform to collapse, leaving a gap between the mattress and side rails, creating an entrapment and suffocation hazard. The cribs being recalled go all the way back to May 2000, so watch out if you’re buying a used crib or receiving a hand-me-down. The cribs were sold nationwide at retailers such as J.C. Penney, Kmart, and Walmart, as well as online, for about $100 - $400. To tell if your crib is a Stork Craft crib, check the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board — the “storkcraft baby” insignia may also be on the drop side teething rail. Stork Craft suggests parents stop using the crib immediately, and contact the company to receive a kit with new mattress support brackets. More info can be found at the Stork Craft website.

A toy xylophone is being recalled by manufacturer The Land of Nod, because the pegs on the xylophone can break off causing a choking hazard. The xylophone, manufactured in China, was sold nationwide and through their catalog for approximately $45. ($45 for a toy xylophone?!) It’s a rolling xylophone with the name “Janod” printed on the sides. If you have one of these musical instruments of doom, you can return it to the company for a credit, as well as an extra $10 gift card. Least they can do, since apparently they won’t just give you your money back. More info can be found at the Land of Nod website.

| Claire’s children’s necklaces recalled |
| November 12, 2008 at 4:36 pm |
|
Claire’s Boutiques is recalling about 67,000 of its Best Friends Yin Yang Necklaces Sets, after it was found that the necklaces contain high levels of lead. Since we were one of those weirdos in school that liked to chew on our necklace while bored in math class, we can see how that might be a problem. The necklaces were sold at Claire’s stores nationwide between April 2007 through August 2008 and retailed for around $8. Parents should take away the necklaces from their kids (and their BFF) and return it to Claire’s for a refund.
