From 6 February 2024 to 27 February of 2025, the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) published the following recalls:

11 recalls regarding toys and childcare products

Hazard	Number of alerts	Notes
Choking	1	Teether Part of the teethers’ safety snap clasp can detach, posing a choking hazard.
Entrapment	2	Baby gates The recalled baby gates violate the federal safety regulations for expansion gates and expandable enclosures. For the versions with a pet door, a child’s torso can fit through the secondary opening and, for the other versions that are adjustable, a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate slat and side wall. These violations pose an entrapment hazard to children.
Entrapment	2	Highchairs The recalled high chairs pose a fatal suffocation risk because they were marketed, intended, or designed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act. In addition, the highchair poses a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it, which is a violation of federal regulations for highchairs.
Entrapment and strangulation	1	Bunk beds The recalled children’s bunk beds violate the federal regulations for bunk beds because the spacing between the guardrail and end support and the spacing around the mattress supports are greater than allowed, posing entrapment and strangulation hazards to children.
Fall	1	Sling carriers The recalled sling carriers violate the federal safety regulations for sling carriers, including requirements for structural integrity and occupant retention, posing a fall hazard to babies.
Fall and injury	1	Toddler Stools The stools can collapse or tip over while in use, posing serious fall and injury hazards to children.
Fire	1	Resin menorahs The recalled resin menorahs can burn or catch fire when holding lit candles, posing a fire hazard.
Ingestion	1	6-in-1 pounding games The recalled 6-in-1 Pounding Game violates the mandatory federal regulation for magnets because it contains a magnet that can become loose, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.
Lead	1	Children’s sipper cups The red tape on the bowling pin sipper cups contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.
Suffocation	1	Crib bumpers The recalled crib bumpers violate the federal crib bumper ban, posing a deadly suffocation hazard to infants. Padded crib bumpers are banned by the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act.
Suffocation and fall	1	Baby loungers The recalled baby loungers violate the federal safety regulations for Infant Sleep Products because the sleeping pad is too thick, posing a suffocation hazard; an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the sides of the lounger or become entrapped; and the sides are too low to contain the infant and the loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants.

23 recalls of consumer products

Type of Risk	Number of alerts	Notes
Ingestion	3	Sliding patio doors and windows The recalled products violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the sliding doors’ sensor panel and the windows’ remote control have button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children. This poses an ingestion hazard. In addition, the recalled products do not have the required warnings. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
		Car figures The recalled unassembled Deluxe Pit Kit slot cars violate the mandatory federal regulation for magnets because the magnets used to power the car are loose prior to assembly, posing an ingestion hazard to children. Assembled models do not pose this risk and are therefore not subject to this recall. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.
		Camera grips The recalled camera grips violate the mandatory federal regulation for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries because, when the product is dropped, the battery tray can separate from its compartment, making the lithium coin battery easily accessible by children. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
Strangulation and entanglement	4	Roll up window blinds The recalled window blinds have long operating cords that can cause death or serious injury to children, due to strangulation and entanglement hazards. The window blinds are in violation of the federal regulations for window coverings and present a substantial product hazard.
Injuries	1	Air Pistols The CO2 cartridge can be unintentionally ejected with force from the handle, posing an impact hazard.
	1	Dumbbells Weight plates can dislodge from the dumbbell handle during use, posing an impact hazard to consumers.
	1	Snowmobile ski The skis can detach from the snowmobile, posing a crash hazard and risk of serious injury.
Fire and burn	1	Lamps The lithium-ion battery in the recalled portable lamps can overheat while charging, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.
Fall	4	Climbing ropes The climbing ropes can weaken and break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
		Bicycles The fork steerer tube on the recalled bicycles and framesets can crack, break, or separate during use, posing a fall hazard.
		Climbing harnesses The recalled BD Vision harnesses can degrade over time and fail to support the climber, posing a fall hazard resulting in serious injury or death.
		Belays The recalled auto belay device can fail to retract, posing a fall hazard and risk of serious injury or death.
Fingertip amputation and crushing	1	Coolers The tow handle can pinch consumers’ fingertips against the cooler, posing fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.
Tip-over and entrapment	2	Dressers The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children. The dressers violate performance and warning label requirements of the STURDY Act.
Tip-over and entrapment	2	Clothing storage The tip-over restraint straps can fail when used on certain Sauder clothing storage units (dressers and 4-drawer chests) to prevent tip-over incidents, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or serious injuries to children.
Entrapment	1	Safety gates The recalled gates violate the federal safety regulations for expansion gates and expandable enclosures because a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate and the floor, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment hazard.
Entrapment	1	Dressers The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children. The dressers violate the performance and labelling requirements of the STURDY Act.
Fire, burn and laceration	1	Candle The flame can burn too high and cause the candle to ignite and the glass container to break, posing fire, burn and laceration hazards.
Strangulation and entanglement	1	Window shades The recalled window shades have long operating cords that can cause death or serious injury to children, due to strangulation and entanglement hazards. The window shades are in violation of the federal regulations for window coverings and present a substantial product hazard. The window shades also violate federal regulations for labelling of window coverings.
Irritation or sensitisation	1	Jewellery Kits The recalled jewellery-making kits contain a resin that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched or ingested. The resin contains an acrylate (hydroxyethyl methacrylate “HEMA”) in amounts prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Already created jewellery should be inspected to confirm it is fully cured. If there is liquid or any liquid residue present, the jewellery should not be worn and should be stored away from children. Once cured, the resin no longer presents the hazard.
