Gel Blaster recalls SURGE 1.0 toy guns due to fire hazard

Gel Blaster recalled 62,700 of its SURGE 1.0 toy guns as the lithium ion battery pack inside the handle can overheat and ignite, posing a fire hazard.  

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Gel Blaster SURGE Model 1.0 and contact Gel Blaster to receive a prepaid mailer to return the product and receive a full refund,” the children’s recall says. 

The recall comes after Gel Blaster received 30 reports of smoking or fire near the handle of the gel blaster where the lithium ion battery is located. 

No injuries have been reported so far, the company says. Gel Blaster is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.

The toy guns were sold at D2 LLC in Wimberley, Texas; Hey! Joy – Toy Store in Garden City, New York, Bloomington, Minnesota and Orlando, Florida; Learning Tree in Prairie Village, Kansas; Kitty Hawk stores along the East Coast; and other stores nationwide and online at www.kittyhawk.com, www.heyjoytoystore.com, www.learningtreetoys.com, www.gelblaster.com, www.kickstarter.com and www.amazon.com from August 2020 through October 2021 for about $60.

Juvo Plus recalls butterfly nets, action figures due to toxins

Juvo Plus recalled about 22,500 butterfly net sets and 4,500 action figure playsets as they contain overly high levels of toxins.

“Components of the recalled butterfly net sets and the action figure playsets contain levels of certain phthalates and lead that exceed the federal phthalate and lead content standards,” the children’s recall states. “Phthalates and lead are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.”

The recall relates to Juvo Plus insect-catching butterfly net sets and Blue Panda/Soldier Force Playset army action figure playsets. No injuries related to the sets have been reported so far.

The nets were sold online at Amazon.com, eBay.com, Facebook.com, Kroger.com, Overstock.com, Target.com, Walmart.com and Wish.com from September 2017 through June 2022 for about $10. 

The Action Figure playsets were sold online at Amazon.com, Bluepanda.co, eBay.com, Facebook.com, Groupon.com, Kroger.com, Overstock.com, Target.com and Walmart.com from February 2018 through June 2022 for about $35.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled butterfly net sets and the action figure playsets away from children and contact Juvo Plus for a full refund of the purchase price. 

U.P. Fashion recalls children’s fashion rings due to lead contamination

U.P. Fashion recalled 1,800 children’s rings as they contain too much lead. 

The affected ring is gold with a large faux pearl that comes in various colors. Small white crystals surround the pearl on the gold base.

According to the recall, the metal base of the ring contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban. 

“Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues,” the recall children’s states. U.P. Fashion sold the rings at dollar stores nationwide for around $1.

“Consumers should immediately take the recalled rings away from children and contact U.P. Fashion for information on how to properly dispose of the rings and receive a full refund,” the recall says.

Meanwhile, Amazon and JCPenney recalled children’s pajamas and bathrobes because they violate flammability standards and can pose a burn hazard to kids.
