<p> Approximately <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10137.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10137.html?referer=');">14,000 umbrella strollers </a>that might amputate a child&#8217;s fingertips as they&#8217;re unfolded were also recalled. While there have been no known related incidents reported in either case, there have been reports of injuries related to children’s lamps and <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10136.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10136.html?referer=');">wind chime toys recalled </a>this past week.</p>
<p>The childrens&#8217; lamps involved in the CPSC recall are  <a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10135.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10135.html?referer=');">360,000 Discovery Kids Animated Marine and Safari Kids lamps </a>with defects in the printed circuit board which could cause an electrical short, posing a fire and burn hazard to children.  There have been 9 incidents reported including lamps catching on fire, smoke inhalation injury to a child and minor property damage. </p>
<p>The decorative lamps are silver colored and have rotating films with marine or safari scenes. “Discovery Kids” is printed on the front top left corner. Consumers have been instructed to immediately stop using the lamps and contact the company, Innovage,  for a ful refund.</p>
<p> The best recalls are those where an awareness to a potential hazard is realized before any child has been injured. </p>
