This time around, we have product recalls on some lighting equipment that wants to overheat and melt your plug panels, while we have some adult bed products that are responsible for three deaths so far. And one dehumidifier that is causing property damage!
Remember, everything can be found over on each product maker's website or on {www.cpsc.gov}for details on these or other recalls.
I try to touch on products that are mass produced or life threatening to persons of all ages.
