But with all the lights out, safety issues may be in play especially if you are not that familiar with the things around your room when looking for the light switch. So to avoid any accidents and make life easier, placing a night light may be a good recourse.

Better yet, there is a great nightlight you may want to check out, the LED Motion Night Lights. Motion sensitive lights simplify your excursions in the dark and keep you from fumbling for the light switch.

Ok here we go again. A new round of recalls has been announced due to some safety issues but this time around they are not from China. Rather, thanks to the incidents that have been reported on one occasion or another, it can be seen that these stuff which include hammock stands, toasters, chest drawers and boilers have caused injury to consumers who have bought them.

• Hammock stands. About 30,000 wooden hammock stands, manufactured in China and imported by Pottery Barn, because the stand can deteriorate over time when used outdoors. This poses a risk of falls and cuts. The company has received 12 reports of injuries. The stands were sold through the Pottery Barn catalog and Web site between March 2003 and July 2008.

• Toasters. About 210,000 General Electric toasters, manufactured in China and imported by Wal-Mart Stores, because they can short-circuit and pose a fire or shock hazard. The toasters were sold at Wal-Mart Stores around the country between September 2007 and July 2008.

• Chest of drawers. About 5,000 KVIBY chests, manufactured in Denmark by Ikea Home Furnishings, because the glass knobs on the drawers can break, posing a risk of cuts. The company received three reports of cuts in the United States that required medical attention. The chests were sold at Ikea stores around the country between August 2007 and July 2008.

• Boilers. About 4,600 Vitodens 200 boilers, manufactured in Canada by Viessmann Manufacturing, because the gas can leak. This poses a fire hazard. The boilers were sold by plumbing and heating contractors around the country between January 2002 and December 2007.

If you think you bought any of these during the said dates, check out your receipts and the brand. Do not allow yourself to be the next victim.
