    Recalls

    Nokia cell-phone batteries made in China could, in rare cases, overheat and even dislodge during recharning.

    A tire importer is recalling 255,000 Chinese-made tires that could be lacking a safety feature that prevents thread separation. The recall by Foreign Tire Sales, Inc. involves Westlake, Compass and YKS brand tires bought from Hangzhou Zhongce Rubber Co. since 2002.

    Toys "R" Us Inc. announced it would remove all vinyl baby bibs from its Toy "R" Us and Babies "R" Us shelves. The removal a precaution after two bibs made in China for one supplier showed lead levels that exceeded Toys "R" Us standards. The bibs were supplied by Hamco Inc. and marketed under the Koala Baby, Especially for Baby, and Disney Baby labels. You can return any vinyl bib purchased at Toys "R" Us or Babies "R" Us for a full refund. More information available at 1-800-869-7787

    The Mattel voluntary safety recall includes a large number of toys. The products have been potentially affected by lead and/or magnets.
