The following recalls have been announced:

Power tools. About 12,400 Ryobi corded circular saws made in China by One World Technologies, of Anderson, S.C., because the return spring on the product's lower blade guard can break, posing a laceration hazard to consumers. No injuries or incidents have been reported. The recalled circular saws include model Nos. CSB123, CSB133L and CSB142LZ. The products were sold at Home Depot stores nationwide from October through November 2008. Details: www.ryobitools.com and ww.cpsc.gov/">www.cpsc.gov.

Furniture. About 89,000 Milan vanity stools, manufactured in China and distributed by Cheyenne Industries of Little Rock, Ark., because loose screws can cause the legs to break or separate. The company has received nine reports of broken or separated stool legs, including seven reports of minor injuries. The stools were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond and other stores around the country between October 2004 through March 2006. Details: www.cheyennehomefurnishings.com or www.cpsc.gov.

Window treatments. About 692,400 Roman shades and roll-up blinds, manufactured in India and China and distributed by Cost Plus of Oakland, Calif., because the cords pose a strangulation hazard for young children. No incidents have been reported with the blinds in this recall, but CPSC is aware of the deaths of three children involving similar styles of blinds and shades. The shades and blinds were sold at Cost Plus and World Market stores around the country between February 2006 and August 2008. Details: www.worldmarket.com or ww.cpsc.gov.
