10 product recalls were published during this week. Review the summaries below, then follow the official source before taking action.
The product does not comply with the permanent ban on children's products containing more than 1% diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). These products are banned under the 'Consumer Protection Notice No. 11 of 2011, Permanent Ban on Children's Products containing more than 1% diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)'. DEHP is a commonly used plasticiser that is used to make plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) soft and flexible.
The recall is due to chemical/contaminant (lead) contamination.
The product contains high levels of Formaldehyde in the MDF component of the product.
When connected to a fully charged 8-cell battery as its only power source, an operating condition may cause an abrupt shut down of the Inogen One G3 Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC). If no action is taken, the POC may become unresponsive for up to one minute, after which it will behave as though a battery was just connected with a standard flash screen on display. The POC will then be ready for another startup. If powered on again, this cycle may need to be repeated until the 8-cell battery has been adequately discharged allowing the POC to operate as normal.
A component inside the unit that is live with 240 volts of electrical current, is accessible via a hole in the device. If a metal object is inserted into the hole from which the alarm noise emanates, while the device is plugged in, the metal object may come into contact with 240 volts, which may cause electric shock or electrocution.
The recall is due to the presence of foreign matter (plastic).
At loads exceeding 1.2 tonne seat belt strain, the seat belt mounting point may fail, resulting in the seat belt buckle breaking loose. The product does not meet the required Australian Design Rule 'Vehicle Standard (ADR 3/03 - Seats and Seat Anchorages) 2006.’
The product contains high levels of Formaldehyde in the MDF component of the product.
The recall is due to the presence of an undeclared allergen (milk).
