Here’s a link to a recently announced recall of Spaghettio’s. Looks like most of the recalled cans are the ones containing MEATBALLS. There is a high health risk due to UNDERCOOKED MEAT in the children’s favorite (at least to my 3 kids) meal in a can.
Check out the link and dispose of those Spaghettio’s cans in your pantry.
UH OH SPAGHETTIO’S

US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall of all full sized Simplicity cribs. Simplicity and its successor is no longer in business so information about the number of cribs involved is limited.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THESE CRIBS!
One death and 13 other incidents have been reported to CPSC. Infants can become entrapped, wedged or fall out of these cribs because the tubular support frame can bend or detach from the rest of the crib’s frame.
This recall link gives more onfo on the affected models and examples of the mattress support failures. You can also visit the Crib Information Center for more crib safety.
Please share this with anyone who may have infants sleeping in cribs.

As an avid triathlete, I could not pass this one by without a post to the blog. It’s hard enough to ride a bicycle down in the aerobars when they work but even harder when they fall apart in your hands. Imagine going downhill about 40 miles per hour and suddenly be left steering with your elbows or forearms. Yikes! Here’s a link to the voluntary recall between CPSC and the aerobar manufacturer, 3T. There is a risk of the rubber grips coming off of the end of the handlebars. The link has the information for replacing the faulty grips.
Sounds like there were only a few hundred sold so hopefully this will help spread the word before any serious injuries occur.
Just a quick link to the Graco highchair recall. The screws holding the front legs could loosen and fall out causing the highchair to tip over and cause a potential personal injury hazard.
