* About 400 Twister Hammerhead dune buggies manufactured in China and imported by TJ Power Sports, because the seat belt's shoulder-buckle adjustment can break under stress or when the buggy hits another object. This puts the driver and passenger at risk of being thrown from the buggy or other injuries.

The company has received one report of a seat belt break that resulted in nerve damage to a rider's arm. The buggies were sold online and by Twister dealers around the country between July and December 2004.

* About 7,250 air pistols distributed by Umarex USA and made in Germany by DianaWerk, because they can accidentally discharge, posing a risk of serious injury.

The recalled RWS5G Magnum Air Pistol is for target and recreational shooting and uses spring air to fire pellets. The air pistols were sold at sporting goods stores and gun shops nationwide from July 2006 through February 2008.

* About 5,000 deluxe bottle and food warmers, manufactured in China by Munchkin, because they can overheat, posing a risk of fire. The warmers were sold in the company's catalog and by retailers around the country between June and April.
