The following is a list of some other recall alerts consumers should be aware of to help keep themselves and their families safe.
- The Novara Afterburner Bike Trailer
- The Cook's Essentials or Deni Brand Convection Oven
- The Jubee Bunk Beds
- The Ohalee Youth ATV

# The Consumer Product Safety Commission is urging parents to stop using the Novara Afterburner Bike Trailer immediately.
The child's bicycle trailer is made for a kid to ride behind his or her parent's bike. The manufacturer issued a recall on Sept. 18 because it fears the trailer could come loose and cause the child to fall down and possibly get hurt.

# The Cook's Essentials or Deni Brand Convection Oven is potentially dangerous, according to the CPSC, as the manufacturer said the ovens' wires can overheat and spark a fire.
The manufacturer voluntarily recalled the product on Sept. 12.
Nearly 50 people have reported some sort of fire or spark -- at least five people have been burned.

# The Jubee Bunk Beds were recalled on Sept. 4.
The bunk beds are in danger of collapsing, causing the top bunk to collapse onto the bottom bed, according to the CPSC.
While the manufacturer said no injuries have been reported, it still urges parents to stop letting their children sleep in the bunks immediately.

# The Ohalee Youth ATV was recalled on Sept. 6.
Although there have not been any incidents involving the vehicle, the manufacturer claims the nearly $400 ATV lacks front brakes and a tire pressure gauge and is unfit for children.
The company urges parents to stop letting their kids use it immediately and contact Ohalee for a refund.
