Parents and caregivers should be aware of several child-related product recalls.

March Recalls

Here is a list of March recalls collected from the following federal agencies: the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

• Whole Foods has recalled its Small Bites Macaroni & Cheese because it may contain undeclared eggs and meat ingredients. People who have allergies to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
• Frito-Lay issued a limited recall for Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips for undeclared milk. The product could include nacho cheese tortilla chips and, therefore, may pose a risk to those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk.
• Luv n’ Care recalled its Nuby Stroller Fans due to laceration injury hazard. The fan’s housing allows consumers’ fingers to contact its blade, posing a danger to small children.
• Children’s nightgowns, pajama sets, and robes imported by Marie-Chantal were recalled due to burn hazard and risk of serious injury or death. The items – which violate federal flammability standards – pose a risk of serious injury or death to children.
• Round 2 recalled its Auto World Unassembled Deluxe Pit Kit Slot Cars due to ingestion hazard. The slot cars violate federal regulations for magnets, which when loose prior to assembly pose an ingestion hazard for children.
• Love Our Home recalled its braided crib bumpers due to suffocation hazards posed by the products. The bumpers violate the federal crib bumper ban and pose a suffocation risk for infants.
• Taylor Water Technologies recalled its Phosphate Reagent Bottles that are sold with test kits due to the risk of severe chemical burn. The bottles sold with test kits contain sulfuric acid, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. However, the packaging is not child resistant, posing a risk of chemical burns to the skin or eyes and internal corrosive burns, if ingested.
• Lolanta recalled its children’s bathrobes due to burn hazard and a violation of flammability regulations. The bathrobes pose a risk of burn injuries or death to children.
• HabiLife Direct recalled its safety gates due to risk of serious injury or death to children from entrapment hazard. The gates violate 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.
• Onasti recalled its Toddler Tower Stools due to the risk of serious fall and injury hazards. The stools can collapse or tip over while in use, posing dangers to children.
• GIKPAL recalled its dressers for risk of serious injury or death by tip-over or entrapment. The dressers, which violate federal regulation for clothing storage units, are unstable if not anchored to the wall, posing a threat to children’s safety.
• Arsell has recalled its Benadryl Liquid Elixir 100mL bottle due to risk of child poisoning. The product, which violates federal regulations for child-resistant packaging, poses a risk of poisoning if a child swallows its contents.
• LaRose Industries recalled its Cra-Z-Art Gemex/Gel2Gem Jewelry Kits due to risk of skin, eye, and respiratory irritation and sensitization. The kits, which violate the federal Hazardous Substances Act, contain a resin that, when liquid, can cause irritation when inhaled, touched, or ingested. The resin contains an acrylate in amounts prohibited in children’s products.
• LINKCOO recalled its blackout roller window shades due to strangulation and entanglement hazards for children. The shades, which violate federal regulations for window coverings, have long operating cords that can cause death or serious injury to children.
• NFH recalled its iron dietary supplement bottles due to risk of poisoning. The packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of poisoning if a young child swallows its contents.
• Interior Resources recalled its children’s steel utility bunk beds due to entrapment hazards. The spacing between the guardrail and end support and the spacing around the mattress supports are greater than allowed, posing entrapment and strangulation hazards for children.
