Q&A: How can I get my money back on the recall for the Toy Tool set from Black & Decker?

Question by Melanie N: How can I get my money back on the recall for the Toy Tool set from Black & Decker?

My son received a Christmas gift of a Huge set of Toy Black & Decker tools. When I tried to return the duplicate (toy set) at Target, I was told there was no value and the toy was recalled. I was not provided any information about this toy and would like to know, why it was recalled and how to get my money back?

Best answer:

Answer by cuddly toy
If there was a recall Target should have been able to provide you with that information. As retailers receive information sheets to give consumers instructions on what to do with recalled products.

I did some research but couldn’t find any recall info for and B&D branded toys just appliances. So I would recommend contacting Target, the CPSC or CDI toys to see if you can get more information and proper instruction.

Where and how do we return recalled Mattel Toys?

Question by Lisa M: Where and how do we return recalled Mattel Toys?

I’m angered at the way this MAttel recall is being handles, or not handled as the case may be. We own a few of those recalled Mattel toys, including the Dora Talking House and some of the figurines. I went to the Mattel site, as well as the Walmart and Toys r Us sites, and none of them have any information on what to do about the recalled toys. I saw on the national news that one can return the toys for vouchers, but how can one does not know where or how to return the toys? This is gross neglect by these companies and I’m sickened, especially when it is affecting our children’s health!.

Can you write a function in two variables that exhibits chaotic behaviour?

Question by Mechoman: Can you write a function in two variables that exhibits chaotic behaviour?

I recall analysis of the Newton-Raphson method for iteratively solving polynomials – depending on the initial value chosen, the equation would ‘home in’ on a function.

At certain values, f(a), the equation would head off to inifity, and for infinitesimally different values to this, f(a ± ?a), a solution would be found.

Can you list any others functions that exhibit chaos in two variables?

Best answer:

Answer by Scythian1950
It depends on what you’re looking for. An easy way to put together a function that has a random output is through combining a rational with an irrational number, such as Sin(x) + Sin(?x). However, this is still differentiable everywhere, so it wouldn’t be a fractal. It’s difficult to devise a function in terms of elementary functions that’s a fractal, because it’s the same thing as attempting to write a function in terms of elementary functions that one CANNOT differentiate. Good luck with that. But if one is allowed to use infinite sums or products or limiting case functions in constructing such functions, yes, it’s possible. A variation of Dirichlet’s function (see wolfram) could get you such a function that is not only non-differentiable everywhere, but is chaotic as well. Another good example would be a variation of the Weierstrass function, see wiki.

Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?

product recall
by USCPSC

Question by Denise H: Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?

Hard water is bad for hair because of calcium and magnesium. Most organic substances contain calcium and magnesium (even fruit). Wouldn’t the ingredients in hair products have those components as well? And if so why aren’t we concerned about hair creams, shampoos, gels, and conditioners as well?

Best answer:

Answer by Sur La Mer
If you’re too concern about the hard water in your hair, rinse them with bottled water. That’s what I use when I’m traveling. Some celebrities, ship Perrier Water to wherever they’re vacationing, and wash their hair with bottled Perrier water or spring water.

Anything that’s in our shampoos, whether OTC or Salon products, can’t be that bad, they’ve had the same ingredients since the 60’s, when bottled shampoos came out. Before then, we’ve used a bar of soap to wash our hair. The FDA recalled a product this week that’s organic. Not everything is safe anymore!

I don’t use conditioner on my hair, and my profile shows that cheap OTC .99 shampoo on sale can’t be that bad. What’s bad and damaging to hair: hair dyes (causes hair loss), perming, relaxers (contains formaldehyde causing cancer), hair straightening (causes hair to not grow normally), heating curlers, anti-acne products, Proactive which contains carcinogen causing cancer, washing in hot water (in those order).

Why information search most important part of decision making process?

Question by Israt: Why information search most important part of decision making process?

Best answer:

Answer by Cricket
Because without the correct information you can’t make a well informed or educated decision. If for example you were trying to decide what to wear on a date. A woman would not wear a coctail dress if her date were planning a night of bowling but without being informed she would be unable to pick the apropriate attire.

Can you tell off-brand products from the brand name ones?

product recall
by USCPSC

Question by actormyk: Can you tell off-brand products from the brand name ones?

And what I mean by this is, if you are shopping and a store brand of peanut butter is right beside the Jif, but it’s in the same shaped can and the same color coded lid for creamy and crunchy, can you be fairly safe in assuming that Jif is in there with a generic or store brand label? I don’t mind some generic brands, but there are some foods I’d just as soon pay a little more to get the name brand on the label. But if the same product is in the container right beside it but with a less expensive label on it, then I’ll get the off-brand. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Ty’sGirl
okay where do u think the offbrands get their products or groceries or whatever they are called it all comes from the same place it just has a diff. brand on it.
so when you pay more for a certain kind of brand ur just buying the name..
