Here are the product recalls New Jerseyans should know about this week:
Hazard: The 3-in-1 products pose a suffocation risk because they were marketed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, in violation of the Infant Sleep Products Rule and Safe Sleep for Babies Act. In addition, the products fail to meet mandatory warning requirements under the high chair standard.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Peg Perego for a full refund. Consumers should contact Peg Perego for a prepaid shipping label and packaging to send the products back to Peg Perego. Peg Perego and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly.

Hazard: The recalled baby walkers violate the federal safety standard for infant walkers because they can fit through a standard doorway and fail to stop at the edge of a step as required, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to a fall hazard. In addition, the baby walkers’ brake pads contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban that are prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
Remedy: Consumers should stop using and disassemble the recalled baby walkers immediately and contact Boyro Baby for instructions on receiving a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the disassembled baby walker and email three photos of the destroyed product to boyrobaby@outlook.com. Once the three photos have been received, Boyro Baby will issue a refund. Boyro Baby and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly.
Units: About 1,500
Hazard: The recalled lanterns violate the mandatory federal standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the lithium coin battery in the remote control can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. In addition, the recalled products do not have the warning labels 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 immediately stop using and remove the battery from the lanterns’ remote control and place it in an area that children cannot access. Consumers can contact Green Pastures Wholesale for information on how to receive a free UPS shipping label to return the product and to receive a full refund. Green Pastures Wholesale is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local procedures for hazardous household waste, not in the trash.
Units: About 1,250
Hazard: The recalled helmets do not comply with the impact requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) mandatory federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled helmets immediately and contact Bell Sports for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the recalled helmet by cutting the straps off the helmet. Consumers can upload photos of the helmet with the straps cut off to consumersupport-bell@bellhelmets.com to obtain a refund. Bell Sports is contacting all known purchasers directly.

Hazard: The recalled dietary supplements contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The iron-containing dietary supplement packages violate the federal standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottles and blister packs are not child-resistant, posing a risk of deadly poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately secure the recalled supplement bottles out of sight and reach of children and contact iHerb for a refund and information on how to safely discard the packaging and product.
