Maserati has announced a recall of their GranTurismo and GranTurismo convertible automobiles manufactured between June 2008 and March 2010. The model years affected are the same as the manufacture dates mentioned.
1,768 units are included within this recall, which arose because of a defect in the lamp assembly. This defect can contribute to a failure of both the brake lights and the tail lights. Obviously, this makes it harder for other cars to see your vehicle, increasing the probability of a collision with the automobile.
The recall is scheduled to go into effect this month, with the company notifying affected owners of the problem. Consumers can bring their vehicles into a dealer to have the the tail lamp assemblies replaced for free.
Any number of flaws in the manufacturing process can endanger a driver’s safety, but to a car accident lawyer in Riverside like myself, this recall is particularly frightening. Tail lights and brake lights are integral in preventing a crash out on the road. In low visibility situations especially, lights on the back of the car signal that a vehicle is just ahead or that said vehicle is in the process of slowing down. As a Riverside personal injury lawyer, I hope this problem gets corrected before an accident can occur.
Ford has recalled 36 of its 2011 F-650 trucks due to a risk of losing steering control. The trucks, which were manufactured between February 2 and February 17 of last year, suffer from a problem in which the steering arm can shake loose of the steering knuckle and increase the possibility of a crash situation. The bolts attaching one to the other were not properly fastened.
Ford will be notifying purchasers of these trucks to have the vehicle brought in to have the problem fixed for free. This will involve an inspection of the steering arm and knuckle and, should a problem be found, the necessary repairs will be made by the dealer.
As a car accident attorney in San Francisco, I know how important it is for every part of an automobile to be working in unison to ensure the safety of the driver and his or her passengers. When this doesn’t happen, recall alerts are crucial in informing the consumer when a potential problem could present itself. As a San Francisco personal injury attorney, I might pay attention to these sorts of things a little more than the average consumer, but I think it would be wise if everyone out there checked on recall information on a regular basis.
There seems to be no shortage today of stories involving a product posing a danger due to an electric shock hazard.
Next up, Williams Sonoma, whose West Elm division has announced a recall of nearly 6,000 Overarching Floor Lamps, a six and a half foot tall lamp with a curved arm that allows the lamp to hang five feet wide of the base.
West Elm has already received 39 reports of the item short circuiting. Of these, three people have gotten a shock, two people had their property damaged, and one person even suffered a minor burn injury.
The lamp, which was sold at West Elm stores all across the country between March and November of last year for $250, should be unplugged at once. It can be returned to a West Elm store for store credit.
As a personal injury attorney in San Diego, I’m used to seeing recalls take affect after a small amount of incidents have occurred. 39, though, seems like an unusually high amount of short circuit reports to occur before a recall. I hope as a Long Beach personal injury attorney that the issue can get straightened out before yet another person can become injured due to this faulty product.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has reported that Hewlett Packard has recalled over one million fax machines due to a fire hazard.
The problem involves the failure of defective internal components. This failure causes the fax machines to overheat and subsequently catch fire.
Already seven reports have reached HP of fires breaking out in the fax machines. Of these reports, one resulted in a large amount of damage to surrounding property and another left a person’s finger with minor burns.
The affected units are the HP Fax 1040 and HP Fax 1050 machines. They were sold all across the country at various electronics stores between November 2004 and December 2011. They retailed anywhere from $90 to $120. Ironically, some of these items were replacements for a previous recall of a similar product that occurred in June 2008. Consumers can contact the company for a rebate that’s good for a replacement fax.
As a personal injury attorney in Ventura, I think it’s a shame that a handful of these fires broke out before the recall could be announced, especially considering the nature of that similar recall in 2008. I hope that consumers take my advice as a San Bernardino personal injury lawyer and heed the recall.
Likely you have a power strip somewhere in your home. If so, then you may want to pay attention to the following recall.
Lush Life power strips that were sold for $15 at various Container Store locations nationwide have been recalled. The items in question do not meet fire resistance requirements because the wiring in the units is undersized. This poses a hazard.
Three different brightly colored designs are affected by the recall: a zebra unit, a blue and orange dotted unit, and a black with white scroll unit. Each of the models is a six-outlet strip with a three foot power cord and 8001-6 etched on the back.
The items were sold from October to December of last year. As of yet, no injuries have been reported. The items can be returned not only for a full refund, which is typically the case, but also for an additional $15 gift certificate to the store.
As a personal injury lawyer in Fresno, I pay attention to all sorts of recall information. I’m glad to see any safety issue caught before someone is injured, especially if the item in question poses a fire hazard. It’s my hope as a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer that consumers heed this recall and cease using the product.
