Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or 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.

Hazard: The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory standard for Infant Sleep Products. The sides are too low to contain an infant. The sleeping pad is too thick, posing a suffocation hazard. The enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing a fall hazard and an entrapment hazard to infants. Also, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if it is used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants and can cause death or serious injury to infants.
In addition, the recalled baby loungers come with crib bumpers, which are banned by the Federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act because the padded crib bumpers can obstruct breathing, posing a risk of serious injury or death to infants from suffocation.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby loungers and crib bumpers and contact LXDHSTRA for a full refund. Consumers should remove the foam and pads from the baby lounger’s cover and cut the cover, foam, pad, and crib bumper in half.

Units: About 360
Hazard: The recalled kids’ helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because the helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation, positional stability, labeling and certification requirements.

Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled kids’ helmets and contact YooxArmor 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 service@yooxarmor.com to obtain a refund.

Hazard: The recalled toys violate the mandatory standard for toys containing button batteries because the compartment that holds the batteries in the remote can be accessed without the use of a common household tool.

Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled toy and contact GKKBSJ for a refund.
