[July 27, 2007]  (AP) The following recalls have been announced:

  • About 900,000 Toro Power Sweep electric blowers, manufactured in the United States by The Toro Company, because a rotating component can break and cause pieces of plastic to fly out of the blower. The company has received 154 reports of this component breaking, including 21 reports of minor cuts and bruises. Details: by phone at 888-279-3191; on the Web at http://www.toro.com/ or http://www.cpsc.gov/.

  • About 1,000 pacifiers ornamented with Swarovski crystals, decorated by a variety of retailers in the United States, because the crystals can detach from a pacifier's guard and handle and be inhaled or swallowed by young children. No injuries have been reported. The following retailers sold the pacifiers on Ebay.com and Etsy.com: Dara Linda's Baby Bling and Jewelry Design of Davie, Fla.; Bling Toes of Cherry Valley, Ill.; Baby Bling Things of Appleton, Wis.; PeaNaPod Bling and Accessories of Fort Wayne, Ind.; and MJM Crystal Designs of Boca Raton, Fla.
