NewCosplay children’s pajamas recalled due to fire risk
On Jan. 19, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) posted six recalls that apply to NewCosplay-branded children’s button-up, long-sleeved, one-piece sleepwear garments in a variety of different characters. The company sold more than 10,000 sets of the one-piece pajamas on Amazon between October 2021 and March 2022.
The recalled products failed to meet the federal flammability standards for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children. NewCosplay has not received any injury reports in regards to any of the sleepwear products so far, the company says.
Upon receipt of the photo, consumers will be issued a full refund of the purchase price, the children’s pajamas recalls say.
Volvo recalls 27K sedans, wagons, SUVs due to brake issue
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website posted a recall Jan. 19 for 27,000 Volvo vehicles including sedans, wagons and SUVs. It applies to model year 2023 C40 Recharge electric vehicles; S60 sedans; V60, V60 Cross Country and V90 Cross Country wagons; and XC40, XC60 and XC90 SUVs.
According to the Volvo recall notice, the issue has to do with a diagnostic error that may prevent the brake control module from working properly. It affects all 27,457 of the recalled vehicles. This can cause the potential loss of antilock braking systems, electronic stability control and traction control.
To resolve the issue, the automaker will release an over-the-air software update for free. Volvo will begin notifying owners March 15.
Ross recalls Taylor and Finch Six-Wick Scented Candles due to injury risk
On Jan. 19, the CPSC published a recall notice for 5,800 Ross Stores-branded scented candles. The Taylor and Finch 6-Wick Scented Candles in the scents Spiced Apple & Rosewood and Cedarwood & Clove can combust and pose an injury risk.
The product can combust while lit and cause the glass contained to break; Ross has already received five reports of candles combusting and the glass container breaking, including one report of minor injury. Ross is not facing legal action over the recall.
The candles were sold in Ross Stores in 44-ounce red or white glass containers. The scent of the candles and “Taylor and Finch” are printed on a label on the side of the glass container. The SKU number — 400244981194 or 400244981200 — is on the price label on the bottom of the container.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candles and return them to a Ross location for a full refund.
SkinnyDipped recall announced for dark chocolate nut products
SkinnyDipped has issued an allergy alert for some of its dark chocolate nut products. The recall applies to some lots of SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Cocoa Almond and SkinnyDipped Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cashew, both in a 3.5-ounce container.
SkinnyDipped initiated the alert after it found the products to have an undeclared peanut allergen in an ingredient from a raw material supplier. People who have an allergy to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the products.
Consumers who have the recalled product should not eat it and should discard any product while keeping any packaging to return to the retailer where it was purchased for a replacement or refund.
Ford SUV exhaust probe closed without recall
The NHTSA says it will not seek a recall for more than 1.4 million Ford Explorer SUVs, following a six-year investigation into reports of exhaust odor coming from vehicle compartments. The investigation began in July 2016 and focused on model year 2011 to 2017 Ford Explorer SUVs, including those made for police.
The agency determined there was no evidence of safety issues and found carbon monoxide levels in the vehicles occupant compartments fell “below current accepted health standards.”
However, the administration says it found through its investigation that Ford Explorer SUVs found to have higher carbon monoxide levels “were almost always affected by upfitter alterations, damage or other causes compromising rear passenger cabin seals.”
The NHTSA notes the highest carbon monoxide levels tested in the vehicles were usually the result of a sealing issue that had been caused by the vehicle suffering rear accident damage “where the repairs did not ensure sealing integrity.”
