Recalls: Home gym and kids' flip flops

The following recalls have been announced:

• Fitness equipment. About 78,000 Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gyms, made in China and imported by Nautilus Inc., of Vancouver, Wash. If the seat rail is not manually latched, it can fall unexpectedly on the user or a bystander, posing a risk of serious injury. The company has received 18 reports of injuries caused by unlatched seat rails that have fallen, resulting in head and shoulder lacerations, some requiring stitches or staples. The home gyms are equipped with pulleys, resistance rods and other equipment. They were sold at specialty fitness retailers nationwide and through direct Nautilus sales from June 2005 through January 2009.

• Shoes. About 210,000 children's flip flops, made in Brazil by Alpargatas USA Inc., of New York, because decorative paint on the sole of the flip flops can contain high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children. Flip flops of the Havaianas brand containing decorative paint were sold under these model names: Baby Estampas, Baby Pets, Kids Apple, Kids Fairy, Kids Flores, Kids Lighthouse, Kids Monsters, Kids Surf, Baby Letrinhas, Kids Sports, Kids Candies, Kids Fun, Kids Love, Kids Sereias, Kids Speed, Kids Lucky Bug, Kids Pets, Kids Rock, Kids Slim, Kids Wonder Woman, Kids Small Flowers and Kids Tropical w/Kit.
