WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced five product recalls involving patio heaters, commercial lighting fixtures, children’s high chairs, finger-light toys and light-up princess costumes because of safety hazards that could result in serious injuries or death.
The recalls include:
VQQQ Gas Patio Heaters Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fire and Burn Hazards
Hazard:
Components on the recalled patio heaters can malfunction causing gas to be released, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.
Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the recalled patio heaters immediately, shut the valve at the portable gas source, disconnect the gas hose and contact VQQQ for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write in permanent marker “Recalled” on the heater’s base and send a photo of the marked heater to vqqqrecall@163.com. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product.
Units:
About 100
Hazard:
The knuckle of the recalled adjustable tilt arm mountings can fail, allowing the luminaire to fall from the mounting arm, posing a risk of serious injury due to impact hazard.
Remedy:
Consumers should keep clear of the area directly beneath the Luminaire and contact Lithonia Lighting to schedule a free repair. Lithonia Lighting will arrange for a qualified professional to replace the recalled adjustable tilt arm mount with a new complete adjustable arm assembly.
Units:

Hazard:
The convertible high chairs violate the mandatory safety standard for high chairs because they do not contain a passive restraint system and a child can slip through the opening between the feeding tray and seat and become entrapped or fall, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled high chairs and contact Costway for a free replacement high chair. Consumers will be asked to provide a receipt or a photo of the product and will receive a prepaid label to return the recalled product to Costway. Upon receipt of the recalled product, Costway will ship a replacement high chair free of charge.

Remedy:
Consumers should stop using the toys immediately and contact Bamamon. Consumers will be asked to email a photograph showing the product being properly disposed of in the trash to bamamonproductrecall@outlook.com.
