POLARIS ATVs STEERING FLAWED

Polaris Industries is recalling abut 8,500 Polaris All-Terrain Vehicles because the front suspension ball joint stem can separate from the steering knuckle and cause the rider to lose steering control, posing a risk of injury or death to riders.

Owners should contact their local Polaris dealer to determine if their model and VIN number are included in this recall, and to schedule a free repair. Polaris is directly contacting registered owners.

TIRE INFLATORS CAN HURT USERS

Todson is recalling about 24,000 CO2 bicycle tire inflators sold exclusively at Walmart because the pressurized cartridge containing carbon dioxide can forcefully separate from the pump head, posing a risk of injury to the consumer. Consumers should return the inflators to Walmart for a full refund.
