世界十大產品召回案中英文內容提要：
Toyota has said it will recall more than 9 million cars to fix faulty gas pedals and floor mats that can cause unintended acceleration. TIME recaps 10 of the largest — and most disquieting — recalls to date
豐田宣布將會召回至少900萬輛車，對車輛出現問題的油門踏板和可能會無意識導致加速的地毯進行修理。《時代》總結了迄今為止十項最大規模也是最讓人懊惱的召回。
Toyota's Faulty Pedals
Toyota is having problems. On Jan. 21 the world's largest automaker issued a recall — its second in three months — on 4.1 million vehicles sold in the U.S. and Europe to fix faulty gas pedals that have a tendency to get stuck, causing unintended acceleration. This is on top of a November recall of 5.3 million cars (and counting) believed to have ill-fitting floor mats that have a tendency to trap pedals. In total, more than 9 million Toyota cars worldwide have been pulled back for pedal-related flaws. That's a lot of cars. In fact, it's nearly the same amount as the total number vehicles all carmakers sold in the U.S. in 2009. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced plans to investigate the recall, and whether the Japanese-based automaker needlessly put the public at risk.
Honda drivers have no room to gloat: 646,000 Honda Fits, Jazzes and Cities (including 140,000 cars sold in the U.S.) have been recalled to fix a faulty window switch known to accidentally catch fire.

Cribs Recalled After Infant Death
More than 400,000 drop-side cribs made by Simplicity were recalled July 2 after an 8-month-old child in Houston suffocated. The Chinese-made cribs had a detachable side that easily broke, creating a gap between the side of the crib and the mattress where a child could potentially become trapped and suffocate. It wasn't Simplicity's first snafu with the cribs. In September 2008, the company recalled 600,000 cribs of the same type; in 2007 a million older-model cribs were recalled after two children became trapped and suffocated. In an interview on The Early Show, Consumer Product Safety Commission chairman Inez Tenenbaum said, "We have recalled 2 million of these in the past few years because the company would change the hardware, but it never worked."
嬰兒床在出現幼兒死亡之後被召回
超過40萬張由Simplicity公司生產的下拉式圍欄嬰兒床在6月2號一位在休斯頓的幼兒窒息而死後被召回。這種中國製造的嬰兒床有一可拆開的邊非常容易損壞，會在車的邊緣和床墊之間產生縫隙，而這縫隙可能卡住孩子並有窒息的危險。這並不是Simplicity第一次因為嬰兒床而被推上風口浪尖了。早在2008年的9月公司召回了60萬張同款嬰兒床；而2007年有100張老款嬰兒床因為兩個兒童被卡住並窒息而宣布召回。在訪談節目《The Early Show》中，消費者產品安全委員會主席Inez Tenenbaum說道：“我們在過去的幾年因為公司希望會對床的硬件進行更換已經召回了200萬張嬰兒床，但卻從沒起到什麼作用。”
