What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and detach the TV from the support stand. Consumers should then place the television face down on a soft cloth or blanket in a safe location away from children.

Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Mid GTX hiking boots
Risk: If the recalled AT2 Boots are laced loosely or untied, unlaced at the ankle support of the boot, not laced through the eyelet, or the lace hooks are left unlaced, etc., it is possible that the lace hook on the inside of one boot can catch on the loose cable on the inside of the other boot, posing a trip-and-fall hazard. As of January 5, 2023, the company has received one report of a trip-and-fall in Canada that resulted in fall-related injury.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hiking boots and contact Salewa for instructions to obtain a replacement.
Risk: IKEA has identified that some of the plastic fittings attaching the mirror to the wall appear to be breaking, which could lead to the mirrors falling, posing an injury hazard. Globally, the company has received 55 reports of mirrors falling, with minor injuries and minor property damage as a result.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled LETTAN mirrors. IKEA urges all customers who own an affected LETTAN mirror to stop using it, and to order replacement wall fittings free of charge. Customers may also return the mirror to IKEA for refund.
