WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced multiple product recalls involving children’s products, electronics, home appliances and all-terrain vehicles due to hazards including fire, burns, battery ingestion, poisoning and magnet ingestion.
The recalls include:
Hazard:
The recalled children’s loungewear sets violate the mandatory flammability standards for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of serious burn injuries.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the loungewear immediately and contact Kith Retail for a full refund.

Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
Units:
About 13,400
Hazard:
The heating element can remain energized during a ground fault, despite being turned off, posing a risk of fire or burn injury to consumers.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled products immediately and contact Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing, Inc. (DCT) to submit a request for a full refund. Consumers will be required to provide their contact information, cut the product’s cord, and then upload a photo of the product’s serial number and cut cord in order to receive a full refund of the unit.
Units:

Super Off-Road Solar Power Banks Recalled Due to Overheating; Imported by Spector & Co.
Hazard:
The solar power bank’s lithium-ion battery can swell and overheat, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled power banks immediately and visit spectroandco.com/recall to register for a full refund. The refund will be in the form of a check which will be mailed to consumers. Consumers should dispose of the camera in accordance with local and state regulations.
Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
Units:
About 7,400 (In addition, about 4,964 were sold in Canada)
Hazard:
The roll-on warmers’ power cord can overheat and short circuit, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire, burn and electrical shock hazards.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled waxing kits immediately and contact Southern Telecom for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the kits by unplugging the warmer’s electrical cord, cutting it in half, and upload a photo of the destroyed product, showing the cut electrical cord, to https://support.customersupport123.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product.
Units:
About 14,700 (Southern Telecom previously recalled the waxing kits on June 13, 2024)
Hazard:
The recalled youth ATVs violate the mandatory safety standard for ATVs because they are missing brake lights, reducing visibility of the youth ATV to other vehicles, posing a deadly crash hazard.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled youth ATVs immediately and contact Yamazuki for a free repair kit.
Units:
About 200
Hazard:
The baby oil contains low-viscosity hydrocarbons, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The baby oil’s packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or illness from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. Additionally, petroleum distillates can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and/or pulmonary damage, which can be fatal.
Remedy:
Consumers should secure the baby oil out of sight and reach of children immediately and contact Shield Line for a refund. Consumers will be asked to submit a photo of the recalled product in the trash to receive a full refund.
Units:
About 8,420
Hazard:
The recalled detectors can fail to alert consumers of a fire, posing a risk of serious injury or death from smoke inhalation or burns.
Remedy:
Consumers should contact Treatlife Technology to receive a full refund. Consumers should continue using the recalled detectors until they purchase and install a replacement detector. Once a new detector is installed, consumers should write “recalled” on the recalled product, remove the batteries, dispose of the detector in their household garbage, and dispose of the batteries in accordance with local and state regulations.
Units:
About 20
Hazard:
The recalled sneakers violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the lithium coin 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 sneakers immediately and contact Carina and Rambo for a refund. Consumers will be asked to cut the shoe tongue, write “RECALLED” on both sides of the sneakers using a permanent marker, and provide a photo of disposal to raychyrecall@outlook.com in order to receive the refund.
Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
Units:
About 500
Hazard:
The busy boards violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because magnets can detach, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled busy boards and immediately take them away from children. Consumers can contact Small Fish for information on how to receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to throw away the recalled busy board and email a photo of the disposed product to smallfishrecall@163.com.
