Recent Amazon Product Recalls: Essential Information for Consumers
Recent Amazon recalls exemplify the risks we have written about before. While by and large most products sold on Amazon may be fine, some are not. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) identified several Amazon products that pose significant potential hazards, leading to recalls. It’s crucial for consumers to be aware of these recalls to prevent potential injuries.
Yaomiao Children’s Jewelry Sets Recall – Lead and Brain Injury Risks
LordRoads sells these products exclusively on Amazon. They recalled these children’s jewelry sets have been because they contain lead levels exceeding federal limits and cadmium levels prohibited in children’s products.
Both metals are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. Excessive lead may be tied to brain injuries. Per the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jewelry sets and contact LordRoads for a full refund.
Euqee Wintergreen Essential Oils
DLWL-US sells the Euqee Wintergreen Essential Oil exclusively on Amazon.com. They recalled this product due to packaging that is not child-resistant. That may violate the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA).
This poses a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children. Our firm has handled child ingestion cases. For example, we had a case where a child ingested magnets sold on Amazon and had serious bowel issues and medical procedures.
