Christmas Light Bulbs (Market Research Imports) – Safety Issue (1977)

Laceration Risk

December 21, 1977 Release # 77-128 WASHINGTON, D.C. (Dec. 21) -- Market Research Imports (MRI), Incline Village, Nevada, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission today announced that MRI is voluntarily withdrawing from sale certain imported Christmas light replacement bulbs which were made in Taiwan. MRI discovered a defect in some of the bulbs which could cause them to shatter with explosive force when electrical current is first applied. The defect is a thin strand of wire approximately l/8" to l/4" in length, which may protrude from the solder tip at the base of the bulb. Consumers who may have purchased these replacement bulbs are urged to immediately inspect them to see if a thin strand of wire is protruding from the solder tip at the base of the bulb. If a protruding wire is present, the bulb is defective. The defect may be safely removed by simply snipping off the protruding wire at the solder tip with a pair of. scissors or pliars with cutting edges. The consumer may also elect to return the defective bulbs to the place of purchase for exchange or refund. Two models of bulbs are subject to the defect, and are identified on the package as Item No. LC-9004 size 9 l/4, and Item No. LC-7004 size 7 l/2. The words "Replacement Bulbs" and the letters "MRI" also appear on the package. The bulbs, sold four to a package, retailed for approximately $1.00 or less and were sold nationwide. MRI and the Commission warn that other distributors may have imported these same bulbs from Taiwan and may be selling them under different brand names. The consumer is cautioned to inspect all such replacement light bulbs before installing them in decorative lighting fixtures

Page 880 of 880Next

October 25, 1977 Release # 77-111 WASHINGTON, DC (Oct. 25) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with the Crosman Arms Company, a division of The Coleman Company, Inc., announced today the possibility of an inoperative safety in certain BB repeater pistols marketed under the Crosman name. About 25,000 model number 454 repeater pistols were manufactured and distributed nationwide during 1977 for recreational shooting. In a portion of these, an improper dimension on a receiver cover raises the possibility of the pistol discharging when the trigger is pulled with the safety engaged. The company is trying to locate the pistols involved in order to make modifications to eliminate the possible problem at no cost to the consumer. The pistols are identified as Crosman model 454, 16-shot, semi-automatic .177-caliber CO2 powered BB pistols. Suspect pistols can be identified by the first three digits of the serial number. The digits are 477, 577, 677, 777, or 877. The serial number is located on the left side of the pistol just below the name Crosman. Pistols bearing these serial numbers but with an "R" stamped on the right-hand side of the casting under the grip or below the barrel on the front of the receiver have been inspected by Crosman and do NOT contain the possible malfunction. Owners of the pistols are requested to take the pistol to the nearest authorized service center listed on a brochure which was included with the pistol when purchased. Owners may also write the Crosman Arms Company, 980 Turk Hill Road, Fairport, New York 14450 or call the Crosman service department at (716)223-6000

Zipper Amusement Park Rides (Chance) – lead paint hazard (1977)

September 2, 1977 Release # 77-096 WASHINGI'ON, D.C. (Sept. 2) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has culminated a major regulatory proceeding by issuing a final ban on lead-containing paint and on toys and furniture coated with such paint. This action was taken to reduce the risk of lead poisoning in children who may ingest paint chips or peelings. Until now, the maximum level of lead allowed in consumer paints has been 0.5 percent. CPSC has lowered this amount to 0.06 percent, a level conforming with the maximum permissible under the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act. This Act, administered primarily by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, prohibits application of lead-based paint to housing constructed or rehabilitated with federal assistance. Exempted from the new ban are mirrors backed with lead-containing paint which are part of articles of furniture, as well as artists' paints and related materials. Also exempted, provided they bear specified cautionary labeling, are certain agricultural and industrial coatings, touch-up coatings for appliances and lawn and garden equipment, graphic arts coatings, and certain coatings for powered model aircraft. This ban under the Consumer Product Safety Act will take effect 180 days after publication September 1 in the Federal Register and will apply to products manufactured on and after that date

Baseball Pitching Machines (Commercial) – safety warning (1977)

Fire/Burn Risk

Automatic Baseball Pitching Machines Warning NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 21, 1977 Release # 77-078 Warning Issued On Automatic Baseball Pitching Machines WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 21) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) today issued an urgent warning to purchasers and users of certain automatic baseball pitching machines of the potential for severe bodily injury which the machines present. The machines are labeled as follows: "Blazer (Champ)," the "Professional," "Range, " "Pro-Trainer (Olympia)," and/or the "Dudley Automatic Pitching Machine." They were manufactured by Commercial Mechanisms, Inc., of Spring Park, Minnesota, and Kansas City, Missouri. The Commission has two reports of permanent and severe brain damage resulting from these machines. There are about 18 other injuries including brain concussions, severe lacerations and severe facial disfigurement. The Commission has authorized its staff to prepare the necessary papers for filing a complaint in U.S. District Court seeking recall of the machines and a declaration that they are an imminent hazard. About 5,000 of these machines have been distributed throughout the United States to schools, colleges, clubs, recreation departments, and other athletic organizations. They were manufactured from 1963 to 1975. The Commission is asking consumers who have access to or know the location of a machine to call tie U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's toll-free hotline 800/638-2772. The pitching machines have rotary pitching arms propelled by a gasoline engine or electric motor which powers a gear, pulley and tension spring mechanism. The revolving pitching arm which has no guard retains sufficient energy to "pitch" even though the machines are unplugged or disconnected. This energy can release the pitching arm after only slight vibration of the machine. The downward rotation of the pitching arm at high velocity has resulted in serious injuries to persons in its path. The pitching arm may also separate from the machine during operation, becoming an uncontrolled and potentially lethal missile. The machines may also fire pitches erratically in unintended directions. Consumers are alerted to follow these important safety precautions: Avoid placing any portion of the body within the arc or path through which the pitching arm revolves, unless the machine is disconnected from its power source and the coil spring is disengaged from the spring holder. Disengage the coil spring from the spring holder after use, and lock the machine in a location that will restrict unauthorized or unsupervised access. If the machine must be moved, disconnect the machine from its power source and disengage the coil spring from the spring holder before moving. Never store the pitching machine with the pitching arm in the 10:00 o'clock position. An Example of A Pitching Machine With An Unguarded Arm (Blazer "Little Champ" Model) Guardless

Stand Lamp (Downe Communications) – Safety Warning (1974)

Mini Shadowy Stand Lamp Warning NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 6, 1974 Release # 74-005 CPSC Warns Of Severe Electric Shock Hazard In Lamp WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 6)--The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission today warned consumers who may have purchased a "Rainbow Lamp", also known as a "Mini Shadowy Stand" lamp, to immediately discontinue use of the product. The Commission said the lamp-- which retails for approximately $1.98-- contains defects which could result in a fatal electric shock. Some 35,000 lamps have been sold since February, 1973. They were advertised nationally in TV Guide, Sunday newspaper supplements, including Parade Magazine; Ladies Home Journal; and in the "New Discoveries from Greenland" catalog which was mailed to several million consumers over the last few months. The Commission said the lamps were distributed in the United States by Greenland Studios, 4500 Northwest, 135th Street, Miami, Florida. They were imported from Taiwan and carry the model number 13348 in some of the advertisements but not on the lamp or package. The Commission warned consumers to use "extreme care" in disconnecting the lamp plug from electrical outlets, and to avoid touching any metal objects while doing so. The lamp is designed to cast shadows of various shapes on walls when in use and has been advertised as providing a "sensuous light show". Consumers Union notified the Commission of the possible hazard, on February 1, 1974. The Commission immediately secured samples of the lamps and began testing. Further importation and sales of the lamps have been halted and the Commission said the company is cooperating fully with the Commission and has voluntarily agreed to refund the full purchase price on all returns, including cost of postage. In addition, the company has agreed to make a direct mailing to known purchasers, warning them of the hazard and offering to repurchase the lamps. In making the announcement, the Commission said it was deeply concerned by the failure of national publications to exercise "any degree of responsibility" in verifying the safety of products advertised for sale to consumers. "We believe publications-- such as TV Guide and Ladies Home Journal-- have a special responsibility to assure that products advertised for sale do not pose unreasonable risks of injury to consumers." Greenland Studios is a wholly owned subsidiary of Downe Communications, Inc., which also owns Ladies Home Journal and Family Weekly.
