Holiday Message
14 DIC. 2020 · Vidcast: https://youtu.be/YF3QFYqfPS4 This is my last set of health reports for 2020. I’ll be back in January with more Health News You Should Use and Health news Capsules covering drug, food, and product safety recalls from the FDA and the CPSC. When I return, I’ll be broadcasting from a new studio. Meanwhile, I do hope that you have happy remaining days of Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, and that we all have a happy and healthy celebration of the New Year 2021. During this coming year, we should see a control of the pandemic here in the US and around the world. Before that occurs, stay well by wearing your mask consistently, physically distancing from those not in your bubble, washing your hands, and, as soon as you have the opportunity, take one of the CoVid vaccines. -
Camping Tents Have Been Recalled
14 DIC. 2020 · Vidcast: https://youtu.be/UlxK36EMGLU The CPSC and Thermo Tents USA Inc. are recalling 3 tents in the Mór series: Crua Tri, Crua Loj, and Crua Cottage. These tents are not fire-retardant though labelled as such. About 260 of these tents were sold online via cruaoutdoors.com, Moosejaw.com, CampSaver.com, Walmart.com, Cabella.com, Basspro.com, and amazon.com. Stop using these tents around any open flames. Thermo Tents USA says that you can contact them by calling 1-888-480-2550 to request a new label that states they are not fire-retardant. To me, this is ludicrous. I’d contact your point of purchase and arrange to send the tent back for a refund. Then buy a safe, non-flammable tent. If you get pushback, call the company or your state’s consumer protection office. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2021/Thermo-Tents-Recalls-Mor-Series-Tents-Due-to-Fire-Hazard-Tents-are-Mislabeled-as-Fire-Retardant-Recall-Alert #tent #flammable -

Recall on Electrical Oil Warmers

Apparently a shipping container transporting these products required fumigation due to a cockroach problem, and the chemical used created the damage. About 7805 of these were sold in the US and about 260 were sold in Canada. If you have one, stop using it and take a photo of the warmer with its wires cut.
