PAINTBALL MARKERS 

KEE Action Sports LLC is recalling BT SA-17 Paintball Gun/Marker sold nationwide from May 2010 to August 2010. When users attempt to pierce the CO2 cartridge by closing the lever to the cartridge chamber, the cartridge can fly out of the marker, posing an injury hazard. 

The marker is made of aluminum and resembles a pistol. It is black with model number BT SA-17 printed on both sides. It uses a horizontally-fed magazine and requires a 12g CO2 cartridge. 

Consumers should return the markers to KEE or the retailer from which the product was purchased for a free repair or contact KEE at [phone] between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT, or visit www.paintballsolutions.com for the repair parts and installation instructions. More info at www.recalls.org. 

CRIBS 

The Land of Nod Recalls is recalling Rosebud drop-side cribs sold nationwide from January 2003 to September 2004. The drop-side rail hardware on the cribs can break or fail, allowing the drop side to detach from the crib. When the drop side detaches, a hazardous gap is created between the drop-side rail and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become wedged or entrapped, posing risks of suffocation and strangulation. 

This recall includes “Rosebud” cribs manufactured by Status Furniture. “Status Furniture” appears on crib labeling on the lower portion of the headboard. Model number “910” appears on the assembly instructions. 

Consumers should contact The Land of Nod at [phone] between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.landofnod.com to receive instructions on how to receive a merchandise credit. More info at www.recalls.org.
