TJX recalled approximately 15,000 sets of Tommy Bahama children’s pants sets, sold primarily at Marshalls outlets, due to potential safety hazards.

TJX advises consumers to promptly remove the recalled children’s pants sets from their children’s possession and eliminate the choking risk by cutting off the faux drawstrings, according to the recall notice. Consumers can return the recalled items to any Marshalls store for a complete refund. 

Yamaha power adapters recall issued due to shock, electrocution risks

Yamaha Corp. of America initiated a recall for approximately 34,500 units of its Yamaha PA-10 AC Power Adapters due to potential safety hazards. 

Cracks may develop on the power adapters, leading to electrical wiring exposure and posing risks of shock and electrocution, the recall notice states.

Yamaha sold these power adapters, featuring date codes 2126 to 2319, individually as replacement parts or bundled with Yamaha analog mixing consoles at various audio stores nationwide, on shop.usa.yamaha.com and through amazon.com from June 2021-Nov. 2023.

Chrysler recall issued due to incorrect weight capacity label 

Chrysler announced a recall affecting more than 36,000 vehicles due to concerns regarding potentially inaccurate weight capacity labels.

Drivers may unknowingly exceed the safe weight capacity of their vehicles due to reliance on the misleading vehicle capacity weight labels, potentially leading to accidents without prior warning, the recall notice says. 

Chrysler says it plans to affix overlay labels to the tire placard information on the affected vehicles. The automaker clarifies the recall does not stem from a defective part but rather from an engineering oversight during the production process.

Dealers and vehicle owners will receive notification about the recall on April 24, 2024, outlining the steps to rectify the issue, according to the recall.
