Faulty packaging prompts Excedrin recall
Several Excedrin products are being recalled due to the discovery of holes in the bottom of many bottles.
A recall has been issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission involving lounge chairs sold at Dollar General.
Dollar General recommends consumers immediately stop using its True Living Sling Loungers after recalling the chair due to unexpected collapsing which can cause amputation, laceration and pinching hazards if extremities get caught in the folding joints.
