OFF-ROAD VEHICLES 

KTM North America Inc. is recalling Off-Road Motorcycles sold nationwide from April 2010 to May 2011. The motorcycle handlebar clamp can develop cracks during normal use causing the handlebars to move from their set position. This can result in the rider losing control of the vehicle, posing a fall or crash hazard. 

This recall involves all 2011 KTM and Husaberg off-road/competition motorcycles. A complete list can be found at www.recalls.org. 

Consumers should contact authorized KTM and Husaberg dealers to schedule a free repair.

RESISTANCE CORDS 

Target Corporation is recalling Embark Resistance Cords and Cord Kits sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide from July 2009 to August 2011. A black plastic ball attached to the resistance cord's door anchor can unexpectedly release and strike the user, posing an injury hazard.

POTTERY BARN DOLLS 

Pottery Barn Kids is recalling Chloe, Sophie and Audrey soft dolls sold nationwide and in Canada from July 2006 to April 2011. The hair on the Chloe and Sophie dolls may contain loops that are large enough to fit around a child's head and neck, and the headband on the Audrey doll, if loosened, can form a loop that fits around a child's head and neck. These loops can pose a strangulation hazard. 

This recall involves soft dolls sold under the names Audrey, Chloe and Sophie. The dolls measure about 17 inches high and have hair made of yarn. Audrey's hair is black, Chloe's hair is dark brown and Sophie's hair is blonde. The dolls are part of Pottery Barn Kids' Girl Doll Collection. The doll's name can be found on a tag sewn onto her bottom. 

Consumers should cut the looped hair of the Chloe and Sophie dolls and remove the headband of the Audrey doll to eliminate the hazard.
