CPSC announces recalls involving power stations, motorcycles, pressure washers and other products
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced several product recalls involving tens of thousands of power stations and motorcycles, along with pressure washers, LED tea lights, heating and cooling equipment, hockey visors and mattresses, because of various safety hazards.
The recalls include:
Hazard:
The LED Tea Lights violate the mandatory safety standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the button batteries can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. Additionally, the packaging and product do not have the warnings required under Reese’s Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled LED Tea Lights immediately and contact Mystic Zo for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers will be asked to email their order number or bar code number, if available, along with a photo of the tea lights disposed of in the trash to jinhemaoyi2016@sina.com.
Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.

Hazard:
The rear brake caliper can crack or break, reducing the brake system’s effectiveness posing a risk of serious injury or death due to crash hazard.
