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

  1. The CO2 cartridge can be unintentionally ejected with force from the handle, posing an impact hazard.

  2. The lithium-ion battery in the recalled portable lamps can overheat while charging, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

  3. The recalled resin menorahs can burn or catch fire when holding lit candles, posing a fire hazard.

  4. The recalled 6-in-1 Pounding Game violates the mandatory federal regulation for magnets because it contains a magnet that can become loose, posing an ingestion hazard to children. 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.

  5. The drawstring in the hood of the recalled jackets can get caught on objects and cause death or serious injury to children due to the strangulation hazard. The jackets are in violation of the federal regulations for children’s upper outerwear and present a substantial product hazard.

  6. The climbing ropes can weaken and break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

  7. The recalled children’s pajamas violate the federal flammability regulations for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.

  8. The tow handle can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.

  9. The recalled mowers have a push-on connector inside the powerhead that can overheat, posing a fire hazard.

  10. The recalled snow thrower impeller and auger assembly can continue rotating even after the operator control lever is released, posing a laceration hazard if a user makes contact with the rotating parts inside the housing enclosure at the front of the machine.

  11. The lithium-ion batteries in the recalled microphones can overcharge and ignite, posing a fire hazard.

  12. Front-mounted knobs on the recalled ranges can be activated by accidental contact by humans or pets, posing a fire hazard.

  13. The recalled sweatshirts and hoodies violate the federal flammability standard for clothing, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

  14. The recalled products violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries, because the sliding doors’ sensor panel and the windows’ remote control have button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children. This poses an ingestion hazard. In addition, the recalled products do not have the required warnings. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death. 

  15. The recalled mower decks cannot be secured in the upright or tilted position by the locking pins during maintenance or service, posing a crush hazard.

  16. The recalled baby gates violate the federal safety regulations for expansion gates and expandable enclosures. For the versions with a pet door, a child’s torso can fit through the secondary opening and, for the other versions that are adjustable, a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate slat and side wall. These violations pose an entrapment hazard to children.

  17. The recalled sling carriers violate the federal safety regulations for sling carriers, including requirements for structural integrity and occupant retention, posing a fall hazard to babies. 

  18. The recalled window blinds have long operating cords that can cause death or serious injury to children, due to strangulation and entanglement hazards. The window blinds are in violation of the federal regulations for window coverings and present a substantial product hazard.

  19. The training cycles’ adjustable seat can unexpectedly lower while in use, posing a fall hazard to the rider.

  20. The plastic lid’s closure can degrade after repeated openings, causing the lid’s child-resistance to diminish, posing a risk of poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.

  21. The recalled digital kitchen scales violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the scale has a lithium coin battery that can be easily accessed by children, and a spare coin battery provided with the product not in child resistant packaging as required by Reese’s Law. These violations pose an ingestion hazard. The recalled scales also do not have the required warnings. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.

  22. The handheld hair dryers lack an immersion protection device, posing an electrocution or shock hazard to consumers, if the hair dryers fall into water when plugged in. The CPSC has determined that hair dryers not equipped with the integral immersion protection present a substantial product hazard.

  23. The recalled pajama sets violate federal flammability regulations for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.

  24. The recalled stadium seats have bleacher security hooks that can crack and break, posing fall and injury hazards to consumers.

  25. Due to its size and shape, the wooden egg-shaped rattle in the recalled learning sets can get lodged in a child’s throat, posing a choking hazard. This violates the federal regulations for infant rattles.

  26. The helmets do not comply with the positional stability, impact, labeling and certification requirements of the mandatory federal safety regulation for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect the wearer in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.

  27. The recalled children’s pajamas violate the flammability regulations for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.

  28. The locking mechanism on the folding knives can fail, posing a laceration hazard to the user.

  29. The recalled roller shades have long operating cords that pose strangulation and entanglement hazards to children, in violation of the federal regulations for window coverings. The shades also violate labeling requirements for window coverings.

  30. The handheld hair dryer brushes lack an immersion protection device, posing an electrocution or shock hazard to consumers if the hair dryer brushes fall into water when plugged in. The CPSC has determined that hair dryers not equipped with the integral immersion protection present a substantial product hazard.
