Ford expands model year 2021 F-150 recall to include 550K more vehicles

On Nov. 15, Ford Motor Company expanded its prior March 2022 recall of 2021 F-150 pickup trucks to include an estimated 550,000 more vehicles. The recall applies to 453,650 trucks in the United States and 103,076 in Canada that were built between Jan. 8, 2020, and March 22, 2021.

According to the recall notice posted to the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) website in March, the F-150 vehicles may have a front windshield wiper motor that becomes inoperative, causing the wipers to fail. The primary causes of the inoperative or poorly performing wipers are poor quality motor brush plate spot welding, insufficient motor magnet adhesive being applied and insufficient motor nut assembly torque.

Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. F-150 owners affected by the recall can take their vehicles to a Ford dealer who will replace the front windshield wiper motor free of charge.

Green Day Produce Inc. recalls mushrooms nationwide due to potential listeria contamination

The FDA published a recall on Nov. 17 for Green Day Produce Inc. 200-gram packages of enoki mushrooms nationwide as the mushrooms are potentially contaminated with listeria monocytogenes. The recall applies to 200g / 7.5 oz. packages of Enoki Mushroom (Product of Korea) sold from Sept. 2022 to Oct. 2022  with UPC 16430-69080 on the back of the package. 

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development discovered the potential for contamination after it collected and analyzed a routine sample. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.

The FDA has suspended the mushrooms’ distribution, and customers who purchased the recalled packages of enoki mushrooms are encouraged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. 

The Laundress issues safety notice for all products due to bacteria contamination

Unilever-owned The Laundress, a New York-based luxury fabric care company, advised consumers to immediately stop using all of its products over concerns some may contain an elevated level of bacteria. 

Among the products listed on The Laundress safety notice include its Baby Detergent Packet, Delicate Lady Wash Packet, Ultimate Stain Solving Kit and All Purpose Bleach Alternative & Cleaning Concentrate Duo. Consumers in the United States and Canada can obtain a refund with proof of purchase. 

Warning issued for My Bouncer Little Castle following child’s death

The CPSC announced that consumers who own the My Bouncer Little Castle should immediately stop using it and dispose of the toy as the castles are potentially hazardous to children. 

A 4-year-old boy died after becoming entangled on the basketball hoop. Reportedly, the hoop twisted around the boy’s neck, cutting off his breathing. Another child also became entangled in the hoop but was not injured, according to the commission. Following the tragic incident, the CPSC subjected the basketball hoops to testing to better understand their safety risks. The castle did not pass the tests. 

The bounce castles have been on the market since around April 2013 for between $100 and $200 and have a yellow and green basketball hoop inside the castle.
