Toyota Recall(Tokyo-AP)
-- Toyota is announcing a big recall.
The automaker
is recalling more than 397-thousand sub-compact and mini-car
vehicles exported to the U-S, Europe and Canada, citing faulty
brake pipes.
A Toyota
spokeswoman says the faulty design of the rear brake pipe
might cause brake oil to leak when driving in snow.

the company's gotten no reports of related accidents.
The recall
includes more than 48-thousand Echo minicars sold in the U-S
and Canada. They were made between July 2001 and April 2002.
Candle Holder Recall
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Pier 1 Imports, of Fort Worth, Texas, is voluntarily recalling about 9,200 candleholders. The Giant Champagne Glass-Shaped Floating Candleholder is made of mouth-blown recycled glass and is intended for use with floating candles. The candleholder can unexpectedly shatter and cause cuts to consumers.
Pier 1 has received two reports of the glass candleholder shattering. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled Giant Champagne Glass-Shaped Floating Candleholder is about 17 1/4-inches high by 13-inches in diameter. The green candleholders were made in Spain. The price sticker on the bottom of the candleholder reads "SKU#1884160."
Pier 1 Imports sold the candleholders through their retail stores and on-line nationwide from January 2002 through May 2002 for about $25.
