Applica Consumer Products Inc. is recalling Black & Decker® brand Spacemaker™ Coffeemakers sold nationwide from March 2006 to March 2009. The brew basket can shift out of alignment allowing hot water to overflow. This poses a scalding and burn hazard.
 
The recalled product is the Black & Decker-branded Spacemaker™ coffeemaker. The product has an under-cabinet mount, programmable digital clock/timer, removable water reservoir, and either a 12-cup glass carafe or an 8-cup thermal carafe. Only model numbers ODC440, ODC440B, ODC450 and ODC460 are included in the recall. The model number can be located on the back of the coffeemaker.

WHIRLPOOL BATHS
 
Crane Plumbing LLC is recalling Crane Bath Tubs With A Whirlpool sold nationwide from March 2007 to February 2009. The drain covers in the tubs can entangle a bather’s hair in the openings, causing the bather’s head to be held under water, which can result in drowning.
 
The bathtubs are acrylic with 6-12 jets. The Crane logo is printed on the whirlpool and/or noted on the air control valve.
 
Consumers who have the recalled tub have two options: Contact Crane directly at (866) 876-3632 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to arrange for a service agent to perform a free, in-person replacement in their home or facility; or Consumers can choose to replace the part themselves and Crane will provide them with a free repair kit and directions.

SKATEBOARD WHEELS
 
Loaded Boards Inc. is recalling Orangatang Skateboard Wheels sold nationwide from March 2009 to April 2009. The recalled skateboard wheel’s core can shear and blow-out causing the wheel to separate from the skateboard truck’s axle and bearings. This poses a risk of serious injury.
 
The recall involves Orangatang “In-Heat” skateboard wheels. They were sold in two styles: 75mm/purple/83a durometer and 75mm/orange/80a durometer. The words “orangatang,” “In Heat,” and the size and durometer are written on the sidewall of the wheel. The wheels were sold in sets of four.

DIVING WINGS
 
Poseidon West is recalling Besea W50 Diving Wings with Poseidon Inner Bladders sold nationwide from September 2007 to June 2008. The inner bladder located inside the diving wing can break, causing the wing to fail to operate as a floating/buoyancy device. This poses a drowning hazard.
 
The recall involves the Poseidon inner bladders with batch number 5445 sold with the Poseidon Besea W50 wings. The inner bladder is located inside the outer cover of the wing. The batch number and “Poseidon” are molded on a tab located between the “legs” of the inner bladder.

DEWALT Industrial Tool Co. is recalling DEWALT D51825 and D51850 Framing Nailers sold nationwide from January 2008 to September 2008. The bump action trigger on the framing nailers could have been incorrectly assembled during production, which would allow the nailer to eject a fastener unexpectedly or cause the trigger lock-off not to function. This can pose a serious injury hazard.
