About Products recalls
Consumer product recalls are administered by the CPSC, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC can issue mandatory recalls or work with manufacturers on voluntary recalls when a product poses a substantial risk of injury. Common hazard categories include fire and shock risks in electrical products, choking hazards in children's toys, fall risks in furniture and baby gear, and carbon monoxide risks in heating appliances. If you have registered the product with the manufacturer, you may receive direct notice by mail or email. Check the model number, date code, or serial number on your product against the specific units listed in the official recall notice.
What to do if you're affected
- →Stop using the product immediately.
- →Check the model number and date codes against the recall notice.
- →Follow the manufacturer's instructions for return, repair, or refund.
- →Keep children and pets away from the recalled item.
About choking hazards
Choking is one of the leading causes of injury and death among children under 5. Products recalled for choking hazards typically contain small parts, components that can break off under normal use, or pieces that fall within the small-parts testing cylinder (which simulates a child's throat). Keep the recalled product away from all children immediately, even if no incidents have been reported.
⚠ Remove the product from any area accessible to children right away. Do not wait until you have processed a refund or replacement — the hazard exists as long as the product is in use.
