Stroller accessory recalled after 6 children suffer finger lacerations: CPSC

Stroller accessory recalled after 6 children suffer finger lacerations: CPSC

Yahoo10-03-2025
(WJW) – More than 33,000 stroller fans have been recalled after their Louisiana-based importer received several reports of the fan blades injuring children.
The recall, which concerns Nuby Stroller Fans, was initiated last week. Consumers who may have purchased or installed the accessories are being urged to immediately discontinue use and contact the importer, a company called Luv n' Care, for replacement fans.
Luv n' Care is also said to be contacting 'all known purchasers directly,' according to a recall notice posted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The issue with the fans stems from the housing surrounding the blades, which 'allows consumers' fingers to contact the fan's blade, posing a laceration injury hazard to small children,' the recall notice stated.
Luv n' Care received a total of seven reports of children accessing the blades, six of which resulted in lacerations to their fingers.

The stroller fans were sold online at Nuby's website and Amazon.com, as well as nationwide locations of stores including Target and Burlington Coat Factory, among others. (A full list can be found at the CSPC website.) The fans, which were manufactured in China, were sold between May and June of 2015 for about $15 apiece, per the recall notice.
Consumers can also identify the faulty fans by the lot number (N8K10X) and model number (25128) printed on a label on the back of the fans.
Customers with questions can email Nuby at customers@nuby.com or contact Luv n' Care at 800-588-6227 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.

Woman Sees Scared Doberman Outside of Home, What She Does Next Warms Hearts

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who discovered a terrified Doberman pinscher crouched outside her home the morning after Independence Day celebrations has touched viewers online with her compassionate response. A TikTok video captured the Texas-based woman helping the visibly trembling dog, letting viewers online know that the canine was eventually reunited with her family. The short clip had been posted under @avpmems on July 6 and has been viewed more than 2.2 million times to date. "July 5, the morning after the fireworks and we find this scared Dobie girl next to our house," read an on-screen text in the video. "We were able to reunite her with her family who was looking for her all night." Viewers were able to see the Doberman tucked into the corner of the woman's garden, too frightened to move. "Broke my heart how scared she was," the caption added. "But her family was so relieved to have her back, they insisted on paying us, but we insisted they didn't. "Just happy we were able to get her home safely." The post sparked a wave of emotional reactions from animal lovers online, with several viewers acknowledging the impact of fireworks on animals. Many commented on the apparent distress the Doberman experienced, with some sharing similar stories about their own pets fleeing or shaking in fear during firework displays. "I hate fireworks," one viewer said. "They should be banned." "My husky escaped and broke her leash during fireworks, and a woman kidnapped her," another added. "My dog was of an extraordinary beauty, that woman didn't want to give the dog back, I only got her back two weeks later and I had to pay a ransom. "So yeah, I hate fireworks." "When I was a kid out Collie got out during fireworks," a third posted. "He was missing for 6 days and was found 15 miles away. "He had porcupine quills in his mouth and was so filthy he looked like a different dog … He cried (yes cried) when he saw my dad … Thank you for helping this baby." "This is why fireworks should be banned," a fourth added. "Waste of money. "Pollutes the air and scares many humans and animals alike." In the U.S., fireworks are a common feature of July 4 celebrations, but they can be deeply distressing for animals. The American Kennel Club says that the noise from fireworks often leads to anxiety in dogs, sometimes causing them to run away in fear. Pet advocacy groups routinely warn owners to secure their pets indoors during the holiday and update identification tags in case of escape. The video posted by @avpmems captured the reality of those warnings. The Doberman had apparently bolted during the night and sought refuge in the stranger's yard. The woman's quick thinking and refusal to accept a reward from the grateful owners stood out to viewers as an act of kindness. Newsweek reached out to @avpmems for more information via TikTok.

Mom Recalls Daughters' Rescue amid Flooding at Texas' Camp Mystic, Says Staff 'Should Have Been on Top of It'

A Texas mom recalled her daughters' rescue amid flooding at Camp Mystic in Texas on July 4 Serena Hanor Aldrich told the New York Times that her children hadn't shared a lot about what they experienced during the rescue, as dozens of other campers remain missing Search and rescue efforts continue in the stateA mother is recalling her two daughters' rescue amid the catastrophic flooding that occurred at a Christian girls-only summer camp in Texas, as several other campers remain missing. Speaking with the New York Times, Serena Hanor Aldrich said her daughters, ages 9 and 12, haven't shared a lot about what they experienced on Friday, July 4, before they were reunited with their mom after being rescued amid flooding at Camp Mystic — where nearly two dozen girls remain unaccounted for. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said during a press conference on July 4 that 23 girls out of 750 were missing from the camp near the Guadalupe River following flooding, per ABC affiliate WFAA. Kerr County Sheriff Larry L. Leitha has since said that officials have recovered 27 total bodies across the area, including those of nine children. Over 850 people, meanwhile, have been evacuated or rescued in the area, per CNN. Aldrich, who reunited with her two girls on the evening of July 4, told the Times that those running Camp Mystic "should have been watching the Texas Division of Emergency Management and Kerr County." 'They were posting stuff yesterday morning," the San Antonio-based lawyer added of flash flood warnings. "They should have been on top of it.' The mother also told the outlet that her daughters were in two different sections of the camp when those on site had to search for higher ground to avoid the floods. With her younger daughter in an area called the flats, and her older child at Senior Hill, she told the Times that her girls "came down when the water receded." "And then they made it to one of the buildings that wasn't flooded anymore. They were up there for a couple of hours," Aldrich added of her kids' experience. After Aldrich was informed her daughters were accounted for earlier in the day, she eventually reunited with them when they were taken to an elementary school in Ingram, which had been used as the reunification center for campers and parents. While her girls appeared happy when reuniting with their mom, Aldrich told the Times that she isn't sure how the tragedy will impact them. 'There still are campers missing,' she said. Among those who are reported missing are 8-year-old Hadley Hannah and Eloise Peck and Lila Bonner of Dallas, per WFAA. Kellyanne Lytal, Molly DeWitt, Janie Hunt and Lainey Landry — fellow camp members — also remain missing, KSAT, Fox 26 Houston and CNN reported, citing family members. WANE 15 reported that Greta Toranzo and Virginia Hollis are unaccounted for as well. Renee Smajstrla, 8, meanwhile, has been confirmed dead by her family, according to The Washington Post. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement on July 4 that the state 'is providing all necessary resources to Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt and the entire Texas Hill Country dealing with these devastating floods.' "Tonight, I signed a disaster declaration to ensure local officials have the resources to continue to respond to floods in the Hill Country," he wrote on X. "Texas will stop at nothing to ensure every missing person is fully accounted for." Since the flooding took place, Texas officials pointed fingers at the National Weather Service (NWS) during search-and-rescue updates, according to Forbes, with W. Nim Kidd, director of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, stating that the NWS didn't predict 'the amount of rain that we saw." The NWS issued a flash flood warning on the afternoon of Thursday, July 3, which mentioned Kerr County, where flooding began, per Forbes. Leitha confirmed during a Saturday, June 5, news conference that officials will continue to search for 'every single person' missing from the floods, per CNN. 'One thing I want to tell you and assure y'all is, that we will not stop until every single person is found — we've got all the resources we need,' he said. 'Tragic incidents like this affect us all. This community is strong and will continue to pull together during this tragic time,' Leitha added. 'We have been humbled by the outpouring of support; we are very appreciative everyone that's stepped up to help us.' PEOPLE reached out to the Kerr County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) for updates on the missing girls on Saturday, July 5. PEOPLE contacted Camp Mystic for comment on July 4.
