CPSC Recalls Multiple Hazardous Children's and Electronic Products Sold Online

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued several recalls for products sold on Amazon and other retailers due to significant safety hazards that pose risks of fire, injury, and choking. Among the recalled items is the INIU 10,000mAh portable power bank, which has caused at least three minor burn injuries and 15 reports of overheating, including 11 fires resulting in over $380,000 in property damage. The recall covers specific serial numbers of the product sold between August 2021 and April 2022. Consumers are advised to stop using the affected power banks immediately and seek a full refund through the manufacturer’s recall process. Proper disposal of these lithium-ion battery devices is emphasized to mitigate fire hazards. HydroJug has recalled about 17,000 units of its 14-ounce children’s sports tumblers due to a choking hazard caused by the handle design. The affected tumblers were sold at various retailers including Academy Sports and Amazon.com. Owners are advised to cease use and contact HydroJug for a free replacement lid to address this safety concern. This recall highlights the ongoing focus on children's product safety regulations and compliance monitoring. Another major recall involves approximately 9,400 Crayola-branded CreateOn magnetic building kits. The CPSC identified a risk of sever injury or death resulting from the potential ingestion of loose high-powered magnets included in the kits, which may cause intestinal injury if swallowed. The sets were available at Michaels stores and online retailers, prompting a nationwide removal from shelves to prevent ingestion incidents. Additionally, a children’s writing tablet sold on Amazon by KTEBO has been recalled after safety concerns arose regarding a faulty battery compartment screw. This defect increases the risk of battery ingestion, which can cause severe internal injuries or death. Consumers are urged to stop using the product and follow disposal guidelines for hazardous battery waste. These recalls underscore critical regulatory enforcement actions aimed at reducing consumer risk from defective electronic devices and children’s products. Compliance with Consumer Product Safety Commission directives remains essential for manufacturers and retailers to mitigate liability and protect consumer safety. The recalls also represent significant implications for insurance providers, given the potential for property damage claims and liability exposures arising from these hazardous products.
