RECALL ROUNDUP: Teslas, mold and mildew stain remover and mini string lights recalled
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Tesla has recalled more than 2 million of its vehicles over its autopilot feature.
The treasure is supposed to ensure drivers are paying attention. But U.S. Safety Regulators found there were nearly 1,000 crashes when the autopilot feature was in use, with some being deadly.
The affected vehicles include 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2023 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y.
Federal regulators say the company will send out a software update to fix the problem.
The update will limit the use of the auto-steer feature if drivers repeatedly do not take control of the car correctly.
Wet and Forget 'Xtreme Reach' Outdoor Mold and Mildew Stain Remover
Wet and Forget has recalled 2.7 million bottles of its "Xtreme Reach" Outdoor Mold and Mildew Stain Remover.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the end of the nozzle clip can dislodge and allow the cleaning solution to spray consumers.
If that happens, it can pose a risk to users of skin and eye irritation and other injuries.
Safety regulators have received 3,188 reports of the nozzle dislodging with 28 reports of people suffering skin or eye irritation.
The bottles were sold at Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Sam's Club and online on Amazon.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says to stop using the product immediately and contract Wet and Forget for a replacement nozzle.
Bunkhouse and Lotsa mini string lights
Bunkhouse and Lotsa Lites have recalled their mini string lights due to possible burn and fire hazards.
Federal regulators say the bulbs can overheat when the string lights are plugged directly into an outlet. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 34,500 units have been recalled that were sold at gift stores and boutiques and online from August to September this year.
No injuries have been reported.
CPSC says to stop using the mini lights immediately and contact DM Merchandising for a full refund.
