Stove, crib recalls abound

RECALL WARNING: Can your stove kill you? Imagine dying because it tips over and crushes you or scalds you badly. That may sound impossible, but Sears ranges are now being recalled for that very reason. These ranges are front heavy and were not anchored properly during installation. Sears has now agreed (after a lawsuit settlement) to properly bolt ranges that have been sold since 2000. Go online to SearsRangeSettlement.com for complete details. They'll also be bolting all ranges as part of installation through 2011. This settlement will cost Sears untold millions as an estimated 4 million homes have improperly installed stoves. But how many of the 4 million homeowners will actually do anything about the problem? Historically, recalls don't yield high results.

Meanwhile, there's been another recall of cribs with faulty railing. Make sure your child is not in danger if you have a crib sold under any of the following names: Majestic Curved Top and Flat Top Cribs, Essex Cribs, Brighton/Sussex Cribs and Captiva Cribs. If you're in doubt, contact the importers at Munire Furniture or call 866-586-9639.
