Balls could be mistaken for candy
What: Be Amazing! Toys Water-Absorbing Polymer Balls
Why: The soft and colorful product can be easily mistaken by a child for candy. When the marble-sized toy is ingested, it can expand inside a child's body and cause intestinal obstructions, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration and could be life-threatening.

Air bag may not fully inflate
What: 2014 Chevrolet Silverado trucks; 2014 GMC Sierra trucks
Why: Welding on the passenger airbag inflator may fracture when the air bag is deployed, allowing some gas from the air bag inflator to vent behind the instrument panel, instead of into the air bag. As a result, the air bag may not fully inflate, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do: General Motors will notify owners and dealers will replace the passenger air bag module, for free. The recall began July 30, 2013. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 866-694-6546 and GMC at 866-996-9463. GM's recall number is 13230.
