Risk: Certain John Deere Lawn Tractors are recalled due to the possibility of injury. This injury hazard involves the rear wheel hubs. They are prone to failure resulting in a lack of braking and propulsion on the lawn tractor. Green and yellow lawn tractors with various deck sizes are included in this recall. These particular models are printed with “John Deere” and model number “X380” or “X390” on the side. They come in 54 inch and 48 inch deck sizes.
What you should do: Immediately stop using the recalled lawn tractors and contact an authorized John Deere dealer for a free inspection and repair. Customers can find more information on the Deere and Company website.
The affected products were sold from April 2022 to May 2022. The company reported that 27 units were sold in Canada.
Horizontal Venetian Slat Light Filtering Mini Window Blinds
Risk: Horizontal Venetian Slat light filtering mini window blinds sold by Wayfair are recalled due to the potential for strangulation and choking hazards to children.
This recall involves aluminum horizontal slat blinds in varying sizes, white in colour, and displaying the following model numbers on the product packaging: BYC-18-XY, BYC-20-XY, BYC-22-XY, BYC-24-XY, BYC-26-XY, BYC-28-XY, BYC-30-XY, BYC-32-XY, BYC-34-XY, BYC-36-XY, BYC-38-XY, BYC-40-XY, BYC-42-XY, BYC-44-XY.
Health Canada says the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Products Regulations. The design of the product does not properly address the hazards of exposed operating cords, which can create loops. Young children may put looped cords around their neck, or become entangled in the cords, posing a strangulation hazard.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the product and keep all the cords away from children. The cords should be cut, and the product disposed of in the garbage.
