Target LED flashlight sets
This is a six-pack of silver plastic flashlights featuring a black rubber handle and trim. They were manufactured in China and sold at Target between October 2010 and last December. Target reportedly received complaints from four customers about the flashlights getting hot, smoking or melting, which poses a fire and burn hazard. At least two customers reported minor hand burns.

Mazda and Ford SUVs
In late January, Mazda recalled more than 52,000 Tribute SUVs from the 2001 and 2002 model years because of possible brake- fluid leaks. The automaker says that some of the vehicles’ brake master cylinder reservoir caps leak brake fluid, which could corrode electrical connectors in the brake system. That could lead to melting, smoke or a fire. The automaker says it will notify owners, replace the reservoir cap and modify the brake system for free. Until the repairs are made, Mazda Motor Corp. says owners should not drive the 52,390 vehicles in question. Earlier this year, Ford Motor Co. recalled 244,530 Escape SUVs made during the same model years for the same problem.
Johnson & Johnson baby lotion
This company has recalled baby lotion sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.

The company says Food and Drug Administration testing of the product sample showed high levels of bacteria; however, extensive testing by an independent laboratory failed to achieve the same result. J&J says injuries are unlikely. Consumer questions should be directed to J&J’s consumer call center at 1-877-298-2525.
