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

• Thousandshores has recalled its Theefun Kids Gardening Tools Sets, which are sold on Amazon, because the brown handle strings contain levels of phthalates that exceed a federal ban. Phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
• Rooms to Go’s six-drawer dressers have been recalled because they are unstable if not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children. The dressers do not comply with the performance requirements of the STURDY Act.
• Sling carriers sold on Walmart’s website through Joybuy Marketplace Express have been recalled due to infant suffocation and fall hazards. The carriers violate safety requirements regarding structural integrity and occupant retention. The carriers pose fall hazards to babies as well as suffocation hazards.
• AliExpress has recalled crib bumpers sold by Henan Ouchang Trading and Xinxiang Junshun Trading for suffocation hazards. Infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the crib bumper in a position that obstructs breathing.
