Amazon recalls overview:

Three products sold exclusively on Amazon.com are being recalled. Approximately 8,800 Gevi Household Countertop Nugget Ice Makers, 570 two-pound bags of Crystal Clear Sodium Hydroxide and 280 YourHealthToolkit five-pound children’s weighted blankets are part of the Amazon recalls.

The product risks include metal blades on the auger of the ice maker can break and leave small pieces of metal in the ice bucket, the sodium hydroxide was not put in child-resistant packaging and the weighted blankets can entrap young children by unzipping and then pose the risk of asphyxiation, according to the Amazon recalls.
