Now I really want one

I have signed up for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's email subscription list. This means that every two or three days I receive an email announcing those products that have been recalled due to real or potential safety hazards. I've never actually owned any of the products, but I like to be in the know so I never cancelled the subscription. (It's free.) Out of all the product recalls I've skimmed (several hundred at least), this one is definitely my favorite:
