The recalled toys violate the small parts ban because they are intended for children under three and the small pacifier poses a deadly choking hazard to young children. In addition, the eyes on the plush bear can detach, also posing a choking hazard.
The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted. The strings can reach the back of children’s throat and become lodged, posing a serious risk of respiratory distress and deadly choking hazard.
The pajama sets violate the mandatory safety standards for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of serious injury or death to children from burns.
The internal lithium-ion battery can explode or ignite, posing fire and burn hazards.
The recalled fireworks violate the ban for aerial fireworks devices intended to produce audible effects because they have a pyrotechnic composition that exceeds the federal limit, posing deadly explosion and burn hazards. Overloaded fireworks can result in a greater than expected explosion.
The recalled children’s pajamas violate the mandatory flammability standard for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of serious burn injuries or death.
The recalled car seat adapters can fail to properly attach to the stroller, which may allow the car seat to fall, posing a risk of serious injury from a fall hazard.
The baby loungers violate the mandatory standard for Infant Sleep Products because the sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit to secure the infant; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit, posing a suffocation hazard; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped. The portable loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The recalled drain covers violate the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing entrapment and drowning hazards to consumers.
The recalled dive sticks violate the federal dive sticks ban because they exceeded the compress limit, posing an impalement hazard. In shallow water, children may fall or land on a dive stick, resulting in serious piercing injuries. Facial and eye injuries are also possible when children attempt to retrieve the sticks underwater.
Metal springs in the detachable hinged lid of the insulated bowls can catch fire when used in the microwave, posing a fire hazard.
