Recalls this week include wood burning stoves, mattresses and girl’s hooded jackets

Recalls this Week: Wood burning stoves, mattresses

NEW YORK — Among the recalled items this week are wood burning stoves from Norway and mattresses sold in Puerto Rico.

In the case of the stove, the problem is that the door may fall off. The Maine-based importer behind the recall says three incidents have been reported when only 200 stoves were sold. With the mattresses, which range from crib size all the way up to king size, the problem is that the materials used to make them don’t meet fire safety standards.

Here are the recalled items this week:
