US Consumer Product Safety Commission - Recent recalls and product safety news

  1. The sounders and strobes can malfunction and cause the fire alarm system to fail to alert consumers of a fire.

  2. The air fryers can overheat, causing the handles to melt or break, posing fire and burn hazards. Additionally, the air fryer ovens can overheat and the glass on the door can shatter, posing fire, burn and laceration hazards.

  3. Water can get into the lithium-ion battery pack of the Tracker OX EV vehicles, posing a fire hazard.

  4. The blocked vent switch (BVS) can fail to shut down the burners if the boilers are installed at altitudes above 5,400 feet and the vent system becomes blocked. In such an event, the boiler can emit excessive amounts of carbon monoxide into the home, posing a carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hazard to consumers.

  5. The clasp on the braided black bracelet sold as part of the gift set contains high levels of lead and cadmium. Lead and cadmium are toxic and can cause adverse health effects in children.

  6. The recalled crib mattresses violate the federal safety regulation for mattresses by failing to meet the flammability and labeling requirements, posing a fire hazard to children.

  7. The brake line can come in contact with the brake disc, which can cause damage to the brake line and result in brake loss, posing an injury hazard.

  8. The recalled high chair which converts into a booster seat violates the safety regulations for both high chairs and booster seats. Multiple failures were identified including, but not limited to, insufficient restraint system, stability, static load, latching and locking mechanisms, leg openings, warnings, labels, and literature. The product can tip over or collapse and present a fall hazard to children.

  9. The plastic pieces on the end of the pants’ faux drawstrings can come loose and fall off, posing a choking hazard.

  10. The mattresses violate the smoldering ignition requirements of the federal mattress flammability regulation, posing a fire hazard.

  11. A crack can occur between the PA-10 AC Power Adapter’s upper and lower cases.  The upper and lower cases can separate completely and expose electrical wiring, posing electrical shock and electrocution hazards to consumers.

  12. The bicycle headtube/downtube weld can become damaged and separate from the bicycle frame, posing fall and injury hazards.

  13. The recalled 5mm magnetic ball sets violate the mandatory federal toy magnet regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

  14. The swings pose a suffocation risk because they were marketed, intended, or designed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the CPSC’s Infant Sleep Products Regulation and the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. In addition, the swing fails to meet mandatory warning requirements regarding sleep under the swing standard.

  15. CPSC testing determined the magnetic ball sets do not comply with the requirements of the mandatory federal toy regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

  16. The lithium-ion batteries in the Anker EverFrost Coolers can overheat, posing a fire hazard.

  17. The paint or surface coating on the red mallet, blue mallet, red hoop, and winning post contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban, posing a lead poisoning hazard.

Lead and phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.
