National Safety Recalls, Sept. 12
It's a good idea for parents to look around the house and see if any of these recalled products are lurking there.
2.3 million candy bottles, gas ranges, children's toys post serious hazards
- More than 2.3 million Ricky Joy Sour Crush candy bottles are being recalled because a rolling ball can detach and choke children.
- Nearly 4,000 high-end AGA and La Cornue ranges may leak gas because a cap is missing, creating a fire and explosion hazard.
- The unusually large recall batch also includes children's toys, dressers, hair-dryer brushes, motorcycles, magnets and fire-suppression products.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued an unusually large batch of recalls Thursday covering products ranging from children's candy and toys to $20,000 kitchen ranges.
The biggest by far involves more than 2.3 million bottles of Ricky Joy Sour Crush rolling liquid candy. But several of the smaller recalls involve potentially deadly hazards, including gas leaks, electrocution, swallowed batteries, powerful magnets and furniture tip-overs.
Here are the products consumers should check.
2.3 million Ricky Joy candy bottles recalled
The Ricky Joy Company is recalling more than 2.3 million Sour Crush rolling liquid candy bottles because the rolling ball in the bottle can detach.
If swallowed, the ball can block a child's airway and cause serious injury or death.
CPSC says no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately take the candy away from children and contact Ricky Joy for a refund. The company will provide a prepaid shipping label for returning the recalled product.

AGA and La Cornue ranges can leak gas
Nearly 4,000 AGA and La Cornue dual-fuel ranges are being recalled because some may be missing a cap from the gas test port.
Without the cap, gas can leak from the range, creating a fire or explosion hazard.
The recall covers certain AGA Elise and Mercury ranges and La Cornue CornuFé ranges manufactured from March 19, 2025 through July 24, 2026.
These aren't inexpensive appliances. CPSC says the ranges sold for approximately $6,000 to $20,000.
Consumers with an affected range should shut off the gas supply immediately and contact AGA Rangemaster for a free inspection and repair by a certified technician. The electric ovens may still be used, but the gas burners should not be used until the range has been inspected.
No injuries have been reported.

Two hair-dryer brushes pose shock and electrocution hazards
Two separate brands of hair-dryer brushes sold online are being recalled because they lack required immersion-protection devices intended to protect users if an appliance falls into water while plugged in.
DHASUWT hair-dryer brushes sold on Amazon are also linked to 10 reports of smoking or catching fire, although no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should unplug the dryers and stop using them. CPSC says purchasers can obtain refunds after following the recall instructions, which include cutting the power cord and providing photographic proof.

A separate recall covers about 2,295 Wantefully hair-dryer brushes, also sold on Amazon. One dryer reportedly overheated and melted; no injuries were reported.

Children's finger lights and light-up toys can expose button batteries
Cade California Electronic is recalling finger-light toys because children can gain access to button-cell batteries.
Swallowed button batteries can cause devastating internal chemical burns in as little as a few hours.
The Thursday recall batch also includes an expanded recall of ZMC Group light-up children's toys for a similar battery-ingestion hazard.
Parents should immediately remove affected toys from children's reach and follow the refund or replacement instructions.
Busy boards recalled for lead paint
SQT is recalling Lontcs busy boards because components contain paint with lead levels that exceed the federal limit.
Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause serious developmental and neurological harm.
Parents should stop children from using the recalled boards and follow the company's refund instructions.
SHEIN bear magnets pose ingestion danger
SHEIN Distribution Corporation is recalling 4,640 sets of bear-shaped refrigerator magnets because they contain loose, high-powered magnets.
The magnets violate the federal mandatory magnet standard.
Swallowing more than one powerful magnet can be particularly dangerous because the magnets can attract each other through intestinal tissue. That can cause perforations, intestinal twisting or blockage, infection and death.
The magnets were sold on SHEIN from May 2025 through February 2026 for about $3 to $4.
Consumers should stop using them, keep them away from children and contact SHEIN for a refund.

Six-drawer dressers can tip over
FJTJBSI six-drawer dressers are being recalled because they are unstable if they aren't anchored to a wall and can tip over and trap children.
The dressers violate the federal mandatory safety standard for clothing-storage furniture.
Consumers with an unanchored dresser should stop using it immediately and move it somewhere children cannot reach it. The company is offering full refunds.
No injuries have been reported.

Children's sleepwear fails federal flammability requirements
Sweet Cubby children's loungewear sets are being recalled because they fail to meet federal flammability requirements for children's sleepwear.
Clothing that ignites too readily can create a serious burn hazard, particularly when children are sleeping or near candles, fireplaces or other ignition sources.
Parents should stop children from wearing the affected garments and follow the company's recall instructions.
Triumph competition motorcycles recalled over crash risk
Triumph Motorcycles is recalling certain closed-course competition motorcycles because of a defect that can create a crash hazard.
Owners should stop riding affected motorcycles until the recall remedy has been performed.
Fire spray canisters may fail when they're needed
Prepared Hero is recalling certain fire spray canisters because the containers can deteriorate over time.
That can cause the canister to rupture — or prevent it from working during a fire.
The problem is particularly troubling because consumers may have bought the product specifically as emergency safety equipment and may not discover that it doesn't work until a fire occurs.
Children's bicycle helmets fail federal safety standard
Victgoal is recalling a small number of children's bicycle helmets because they fail several requirements of the mandatory federal bicycle-helmet standard.
CPSC says the helmets don't comply with requirements involving the retention system, positional stability and certification and therefore may fail to adequately protect a child in a crash.
The recalled red helmets are model HT-006 and were sold on Walmart.com.
Consumers should stop using them and obtain a refund.

CPSC also issued five stop-use warnings
In addition to the formal recalls, CPSC issued warnings telling consumers to immediately stop using several products for which a conventional recall may not be available.
They include:
- iGarden Swim Jets combination drain covers, which can create an entrapment and drowning hazard and violate federal pool and spa safety requirements.
- HOTFINE pressure washers, which pose shock and electrocution hazards.
- Le Hao Tool pressure washers, also linked to serious shock and electrocution hazards.
- CooCooBaby baby loungers, which pose suffocation and fall hazards and violate the mandatory standard for infant sleep products.
- Flyboss 3-in-1 infant bouncers, which can collapse while a baby is inside, creating an impact-injury hazard. CPSC says the importer has been unresponsive to requests for a recall.
What consumers should do
A recall announcement doesn't necessarily mean the manufacturer knows who owns the product. That's especially true for inexpensive products bought through online marketplaces.
Consumers should check model numbers, dates and photographs against the official CPSC notices rather than relying on the product name alone.
Stop using products when CPSC specifically instructs consumers to do so, and don't sell, donate or give away a recalled product. Federal law prohibits the sale of recalled products.
And don't assume a cheap product isn't worth checking. Some of the most serious hazards in this batch involve inexpensive children's toys, magnets and hair appliances.
