Product recalls for august 13, 2015

At Wyatt Law Firm we take consumer safety very seriously. We believe that customers should not have to worry about physical injuries resulting from products that are supposed to be tested and safe. Like the Consumer Product Safety Commission, we feel that our clients should be aware of dangerous products that are being recalled.

On August 13, 2015, the CPSC issued the following products that have been recalled:

  • Ambient Weather's Weather Radio
  • American SportWorks' Four-Wheel Off-Road Utility Vehicles
  • J.M. Renovated Mattresses

RISK OF FIRE HAZARD WITH AMBIENT WEATHER'S WEATHER RADIOS

The weather radios produced by Ambient Weather have been recalled because of potential fire hazards that can ensue due to overheated AC power adapters.
