The recalls were initiated for a variety of reasons, including fire risk, electrical shock hazards, increased risk of burns or injuries and failure to alert people of dangerous carbon dioxide levels, among other things. The CPSC and Home Depot issued a warning on Wednesday that about 2,310 items – ranging from fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, power strips, vacuums, washing machines and portable generators – may have made their way into consumers’ homes despite being recalled between 20.Ībout 1,300 of the recalled items were sold by Home Depot, while another 1,010 were sent to salvagers or recyclers who could have sold them to consumers, the CPSC says. But Home Depot apparently wasn’t following that rule for the past three years, selling 28 different products after they were recalled. When a product is recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, it becomes illegal for a retailer to continue to sell that item.
