Thermos jars and bottles can eject stoppers
Thermos is recalling about 8.2 million containers after reports that pressure can build inside and launch the stopper when opened.
-
If perishable food or drinks sit in the container too long, the stopper can forcefully eject and cause serious impact and laceration injuries.
- About 5.8 million Stainless King Food Jars and 2.3 million Sportsman Food & Beverage Bottles were sold nationwide and online between 2008 and 2024.
- Consumers should stop using the recalled containers immediately and contact Thermos for a replacement stopper or replacement bottle.

Qumeney bicycle light sets sold on Amazon are being recalled because children can easily access the button cell batteries inside.
- The lights violate button battery safety rules because the batteries are easily accessible and the packaging lacks the warnings required under Reeses Law.
- About 2,800 light sets were sold on Amazon.com from March 2024 through February 2026.
- Consumers should stop using the recalled lights, remove and properly dispose of the batteries, and contact Smfanlus for a full refund.

Travel-size Afrin bottles lack child resistance
Bayer is recalling certain 6 mL Afrin Original Nasal Spray bottles because the packaging is not child-resistant.
- The travel-size nasal spray contains an imidazoline and should be sold in child-resistant packaging or carry required warning language, but the recalled bottles do neither.
- About 786,100 bottles were sold at convenience stores, airports and other travel hubs from September 2024 through April 2026.
- Consumers should secure the product away from children and request a refund through Bayers recall webform.
Bayer HealthCare LLC, of Whippany, New Jersey, is recalling unexpired travel-size Afrin Original Nasal Spray 6 mL bottles with lot numbers 230361, 240822, 241198, 250066, 250152, 250646 and 250831. The affected bottles are labeled Afrin Original Nasal Spray and 1/5 FL OZ (6 mL). No other sizes are included in the recall.
The hazard
CPSC said the 6 mL nasal sprays contain an imidazoline, a substance that must be packaged in child-resistant packaging or be sold with labeling required for noncomplying packaging under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The recalled bottles are not child-resistant and do not carry the required labeling statement. That creates a risk of serious injury or illness if young children swallow the contents. No incidents or injuries had been reported.
What to do
Consumers should immediately place the recalled bottles out of the sight and reach of children. Bayer says consumers can begin a refund request through the webform at www.livewell.bayer.com/afrin-original-spray-recall and will be asked to submit a photo of the product before disposing of it.

The hazard
CPSC said the fuel containers violate the Portable Fuel Container Safety Act because they do not include flame mitigation devices, which are intended to reduce the risk of flash fires. The containers also are not child-resistant, despite requirements under the Childrens Gasoline Burn Prevention Act for portable kerosene fuel containers. That combination creates a risk of serious injury or death from flash fire, burns and child poisoning. No incidents or injuries had been reported.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled containers immediately, place them out of childrens reach, and contact Alliance Chemical for a full refund. The company says consumers will need to provide a dated photo of the product and dispose of the fuel in accordance with local hazardous waste procedures.

- About 36,000 bears were sold in the United States, with an additional 520 sold in Canada, from January through March 2026.

CPSC warns about Eudaimonia drain covers
The CPSC is warning consumers to stop using Eudaimonia pool drain covers because the products do not bear required markings and may pose a deadly entrapment risk.

- The products were sold on Amazon.com from January 2026 through April 2026 for about $30.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning covering Eudaimonia pool drain covers sold online. The agency said the drain covers do not bear the required product markings under the mandatory safety standard. Unlike a recall with a cooperating company, the notice is a direct warning to consumers to stop using the product.
The hazard
CPSC said the lack of required markings means the drain covers violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Noncompliant drain covers can pose a severe entrapment risk in pools and spas, which in turn can lead to drowning or other catastrophic injuries. The agency described the danger as a risk of serious injury or death.
What to do
Consumers should remove, replace and dispose of the drain covers immediately and stop using any pool equipped with them until compliant covers are installed. CPSC also said consumers should not sell or give away the products, should ensure all pools and spas have VGBA-compliant drain covers, and should teach children to stay away from drains.
Company contact

CPSC warns against Yemkezo baby carriers
The CPSC says consumers should stop using Yemkezo infant and toddler carriers because the products fail key fall-protection requirements.
- The carriers do not meet leg opening, fastener and strap retention requirements, creating a deadly fall hazard.
- The products were sold on Amazon.com from October 2024 through March 2026 for about $50.
- Consumers should stop using the carriers immediately, dispose of them and avoid selling or giving them away.
The CPSC warning covers Yemkezo-branded infant and toddler carriers sold in black and gray with matching or contrasting straps. The cotton carriers can be used for front- and back-facing wear, and the brand name is stitched on the front. The inside label lists Product model: JP0698.
The hazard
According to the agency, the carriers fail to meet the mandatory safety standard for soft infant and toddler carriers. Specifically, the products do not comply with leg opening, fastener and strap retention requirements. Those failures can allow a child to fall from the carrier, creating a risk of serious injury or death.
What to do
CPSC is urging consumers to stop using the infant and toddler carriers immediately and dispose of them. The agency also said consumers should not sell or give away the hazardous carriers.
Company contact

- The heated insoles were sold on Amazon and eBay.
- Consumers should stop using the insoles immediately and dispose of them using local hazardous waste procedures.

CPSC issued a direct warning rather than a recall notice with a listed company remedy.
The hazard
CPSC said the internal lithium-ion battery can overheat and ignite during use. That can quickly lead to serious burn injuries and fire. Because the battery is built into an item worn on the body, the agency said consumers should stop using the product immediately.
What to do

Company contact
No company contact information was provided in the CPSC warning.

The alert was issued because the products may no longer be available for sale, but consumers could still have them in refrigerators or freezers.
The hazard
The concern is possible Salmonella contamination linked to dry milk powder used in dairy ingredients incorporated into meat and poultry products. Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps within six hours to six days after exposure. Older adults, infants and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe illness.
What to do
Consumers who purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them. Retailers are urged not to sell or serve them. FSIS said the products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
