R. J. Hill Consulting                     July 2009
      Recalls From the Consumer Product 
                     Safety Commission 

The Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with the following companies have announced voluntary recalls for their products:

Bunn-O-Matic Corporation of Springfield Illinois has recalled 35,600 Bunn single cup pod brewers. The prooduct is a single cup tea or coffee maker. The problem with the appliance is that the pod drawer can suddenly open during the brewing cycle posing a burn hazard to the consumer. The Bunn single cup pod brewers were sold by web retailers, department and hardware stores nationwide between August 2004 and March 2009. For additional information, please contact Bunn-O-Matic at 800-741-3405. 

Louisiana Pacific Corporation of Nashville Tennessee is recalling 48 million linear feet of composite decking. The decking material can deteriorate and fail without warning. Consumers can fall through broken deck material and sustain severe injuries. The recall includes deck board and railings sold under the brand names LP WeatherBest, ABTCo, and Veranda. The composite material was sold by Home Depot and other building product dealers from January 2005 to August 2008.  For additional information, contact Louisiana Pacific at 888-325-1184.

Skywalker Holdings of Brigham City Utah is recalling 60,000 trampolines. The straps that hold the net enclosure to the poles can fail possibly allowing the user to fall off the trampoline. Skywalker Holdings has received 250 reports of failed straps but no injuries. The trampolines were sold at specialty stores and major retailers nationwide from January 2007 through February 2009. Consumers should stop using the trampolines and contact Skywalker Holdings to obtain a free repair kit. Skywalker Holdings can reached by calling 866-603-5867. 

Campbell Hausfeld of Harrision Ohio has recalled 16,000 air compressors for a problem with the compressor's thermal overload. The thermal overload can fail to turn off the compressor when it overheats which can lead to melting of parts and a risk of fire. Although no incidents or injuries have been reported, the unit model affected is HU200099AV equipped with a 20 gallon tank. The compressors were sold at Wal Mart stores nationwide from January 2009 through June 2009. For additional information, contact Campbell Hausfeld at 800-241- 0448.
