      Hammary Furniture Recalls Chests, Tables


      More than 217,000 Graco-branded drop side cribs made by LaJobi are being recalled. The drop side hardware can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib.

      When the drop side detaches, a hazardous gap is created between the drop side and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped, posing a risk of suffocation and strangulation. In addition, children can fall from the cribs when the drop side detaches or fails to lock.

      Federal safety regulators and LaJobi have received a total of 99 reports of drop side incidents, including hardware breakage and drop side detachment. There were two incidents in which children became entrapped in the gap created by the detached drop side. Both children were freed by their caregivers. There were six reports of children falling due to drop side failure, including one report of a mild concussion.

      This recall involves LaJobi-manufactured Graco wood cribs. The full size cribs were sold in cherry, espresso, natural and white finishes. The production date, item number, purchase order number and finish name is printed on a label affixed to the footboard or headboard. "LaJobi" and the crib model name are printed on a product sticker located on the stabilizer bar or bottom rail of the crib. Affected models are listed below.

      Nationwide Recall of Sexual Enhancement Products Expanded

      Atlas Operations, Inc. products were marketed as dietary supplements

      Atlas Operations, Inc., is expanding its December 12, 2009, voluntary nationwide recall of "dietary supplements" for sexual enhancement to include Stamin It, Erectzia, and Vigor 100.

      These products were sold throughout the United States.

      The recall comes after Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analyses found the products contained Sulfoaildenafil, an analogue of Sildenafil, an FDA-approved drug used in the treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making these products unapproved new drugs. The active drug ingredient is not listed on the product label.

      The undeclared ingredient may pose a threat to consumers because the interaction of the analogue with some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take other prescription drugs.

      The recalled products are in capsule form and may be packaged in blisters, pouches or bottles. All expiration dates of the products are included in this recall.
