CPSC announces recalls of spa jets, smoke detectors, dressers, bed rails and children’s products over injury risks
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a series of recalls involving furniture, spa components, smoke detectors, children’s products and adult bed rails due to hazards that could result in serious injury or death.
Hazard:
The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in risks of serious injuries or death to children. The dressers violate the mandatory standard as required by the STURDY Act.
Remedy:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dressers if they are not anchored to the wall and place them in an area that children cannot access. With a permanent marker, write the word “recalled” on the top and all sides of the dresser. Contact SOOWERY for instructions on how to dispose of the dressers to receive a full refund. Consumers must submit a photo to SOOWERYrecall@outlook.com showing disposal of the product.

Hazard:
The recalled bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails because users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation. The bed rails do not meet structural stability or retention strap requirements, posing a fall hazard. The bed rails’ push pins and push pin holes are incorrectly sized, posing a laceration hazard.
Remedy:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled adult portable bed rails and contact Beloems for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the bed rails by cutting the handrails’ foam padding and writing “RECALLED” on the upper and lower rails with permanent marker, take a photo of the destroyed rails and send it to leioujiapin@163.com.

Hazard:
The recalled board games violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnetic game pieces contain loose high-powered magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. 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 immediately stop using the recalled magnetic board games and take them away from children. Consumers should contact Surveying Accessories Cheaper for a pre-paid shipping label to return the board games for a full refund in the form of the original form of payment or check.

If the sensing threshold of security warnings is set too high, the alarm might not sound in a timely manner, posing a fire hazard.
Remedy:

Hazard:
The recalled bath seats violate the mandatory standard for infant bath seats because they are unstable and can tip over while in use, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to drowning.
Remedy:

Consumers should write “Recalled” on the front of the bath seat in permanent marker, disassemble the bath seat by removing the back rest and arm restraints, discard the screws, cut the five suction cups on the bottom and send a photo of the disassembled recalled bath seat showing the marked front of the seat to CheerKid-Recall@outlook.com.
Units:

Hazard:
The hydromassage rotary jets can create a suction force that allows the user’s hair to be entangled, submerging their head underwater, posing entanglement and drowning hazards to the user.
Remedy:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jets and go to the firm’s website http://www.hotspring.com/recalls to determine if their spa has them. If it is determined that the spa has the recalled parts, contact the firm to obtain instructions and a video that demonstrates how to turn the recalled jets off and how to install free replacement jet inserts in your spa. Consumers will need the serial number located on the front of the spa to make the determination.
