The following recalls have been announced:
• About 20,000 Razor E300 electric scooters, manufactured in China, because a weld can break, causing the handlebar to detach, leading the rider to lose control and fall from the scooter. Razor has received 25 reports of welds breaking on the handlebar, including three reports of minor injuries, such as scrapes and bruises.
The recalled scooters, which are either blue or silver and have barcodes beginning in 100620-03 through -09, were sold at Pep Boys stores nationwide and on the Internet from January 2006 through October 2006.

• About 83,000 IonizAir table-top air purifiers, manufactured by Leaven Enterprise Co. in Taiwan, because the air purifier’s cartridge can overheat, posing a risk of fire.
