Below are some consumer product recalls that seem more critical than some others, due to the nature of the issues concerned. I key in on the number of incidents reported because of the defects or if they have something to do with the safety of your children.
Some of these product recalls involve personal home heaters, baby strollers, holiday decorations and a few other items of note. If you want more info on any of the recalls you see below, head off to the CPSC Product Recall Page and follow the notes or instructions for searching for the recalled product from below.

The Pampered Chef has recalled their Ice Cream Dippers due to what’s referred to as an impact injury hazard. And I assume that doesn’t mean that someone can thump you with it kind of warning.
They sold about 20k of them and the problem is that when the scoop (which is liquid filled) is exposed to warm water, the cap and seal can pop off with what they call substantial force. This is what is behind the impact injury hazard warning.
The Pampered Chef has actually received around 16 incident reports, some of which include damage to inside kitchen items and a few lacerations, bruises and such when the cap popped off the handle.

The Pottery Barn Kids is recalling their Madeline Bed Canopy because the connections on the posts of the top rails can come apart, causing parts and pieces to fall down.
They’ve had 33 reports of the bed coming apart, where one young person required stitches.
