The hunting blind was sold at Bass Pro Shops across Canada between August and October 2011. Consumers can return the hunting blind for a full refund or store credit.

The Recall Report: Strollers, Log Splitters & Listeria Warnings

by Waheeda Harris

Filed under: Food & Drink, House & Home, Product Recalls

It's still all about the household this week on the recall report.

Consumers should be aware of a recall by B.O.B. Trailers and Health Canada of 11 different models of single and double strollers. The strollers included in the recall are labelled with the logo BOB, Ironman or Stroller Strides.

This is an expansion of a recall issued in February 2011, due to a child being able to remove the backing of the embroidered logo on the stroller canopy, which can become a possible choking hazard.

Over 27,000 B.O.B Trailer strollers were sold at retail and online across Canada from November 1998 until October 2011.

Consumers are asked to remove the embroidered logo before continuing to use the stroller. Information and instructions can be acquired from B.O.B. Trailers at 1-855-242-2245.

recall This week's list of recalls includes a morning necessity, a family must-have and unfortunately a name that keeps coming back to the list:
