Dill Air Control Products is recalling replacement tire valve stems that could cause tires to lose air pressure, resulting in a crash, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The snap-in rubber valve stems may lack the required additive used to protect the rubber from deterioration. As a result, these valve stems may wear and crack prematurely and allow air to leak from the tire. Air pressure loss can result in a loss of vehicle control.
The recalled valve stems are Dill APC TR413, TR414 and TR 418. They were sold between November 2006 and July 2007.

Graco is recalling nearly 44,000 Comfortsport convertible car seats because the large body pillow on the seat partially obscures a warning label on the seat pad, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration (NHTSA).

The affected seats were manufactured from November 1, 2006 through October 8, 2007.

New statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor show 533,000 jobs were lost in November. The unemployment rate rose from 6.5% to 6.7%. Most economists opine that unemployment will continue to rise until the economy begins to turn around, which could be well into next year, or even not until 2010. Further, recnet headlines like Citigroup’s plan to lay off more than 50,000 workers will only add to the total. In the process, decreased consumer confidence only exacerbates the economic downturn.
