Thanks to ModernMom, I found out about some recalls that may affect alot of you!

Owners of these vehicles should receive a letter detailing this recall in May 2011. The replacement of the roll sensing sensor will be installed free of charge to all car owners.

2. Pacific Trade International is recalling about 615,195 sets of tea lights, sold under the brand names Chesapeake Bay Candle and Modern Light, because the candles have a clear, plastic cup that can melt or ignite, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. The candles were sold at Fred Meyer, Home Goods, Marshalls, Super Value, Target, TJ Maxx and Wegmans stores nationwide between July 2009 and February 2011 for between $1 and $12.
Consumers should immediately stop using the candles and return them to the store where purchased for a store merchandise card equal to the purchase price. For additional information, contact the Pacific Trade International at (800) 331-8339.
3. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling about 16,000 Lights and Sounds Children's Scooters manufactured by Kiddieland Toys Limited, of Scituate, Mass. A child's finger can get caught in the hinge mechanism between the steering column and the platform, posing a laceration hazard. The recall involves three models of Kiddieland Lights and Sounds three-wheeled scooters including a red Spiderman, a blue Thomas & Friends™ and a pink girl's scooter. The scooters have buttons on the handle that play music and sounds.
Products sold at Toys R Us and JCPenney from January 2009 through February 2011 for about $40. Consumers should immediately take the recalled scooters away from children and contact Kiddieland for a free repair kit. For more info, contact Kiddieland toll-free at (800) 430-5307
