CPSC Recalls

The bike’s protective chain/belt guard does not cover the belt drive and loose clothing can get entrapped in the belt drive, posing a fall hazard.

The recalled jewelry making kits contain a resin that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched or ingested. The resin contains an acrylate (hydroxyethylmethacrylate “HEMA”) in amounts prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Already created jewelry should be inspected to confirm it is fully cured. If there is liquid or any liquid residue present, the jewelry should not be worn and should be stored away from children. Once cured, the resin no longer presents the hazard.

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

The flame can burn too high and cause the candle to ignite and the glass container to break, posing fire, burn and laceration hazards.

The recalled dietary supplements contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards, and the two additional metal support legs also present tripping hazards. The dressers violate performance and warning label requirements of the STURDY Act.

The recalled children’s bunk beds violate the federal regulations for bunk beds because the spacing between the guardrail and end support and the spacing around the mattress supports are greater than allowed, posing entrapment and strangulation hazards to children.

Weight plates can dislodge from the dumbbell handle during use, posing an impact hazard to consumers.

The skis can detach from the snowmobile, posing a crash hazard and risk of serious injury.

The recalled pool vacuum cleaner has a large current adapter that can overheat, posing burn and fire hazards.

The engine control module (ECM) lower mount support could have broken in production and left a loose part inside the engine compartment, allowing it to enter the throttle body area and lead to a stuck throttle. This poses a crash hazard and risk of serious injuries or death.

The recalled products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas oleovorans, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to the bacteria face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment. The bacteria can enter the body through the eyes or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.

The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

The brew cup handle can forcefully eject during use, shattering the glass carafe and posing a burn and laceration hazard.

The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children. The dressers violate performance and labeling requirements of the STURDY Act.

The folding mechanism can fail and cause the handlebars or stem to fold while the scooter is in use, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The Benadryl contains diphenhydramine which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the products is not child-resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

The lithium-ion batteries can overheat and ignite, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

The fork steerer tube on the recalled bicycles and framesets can crack, break, or separate during use, posing a fall hazard.
