Rava car seat recall impacts 608K units

Nuna Baby Essentials issued a recall for more than 600,000 of its Nuna Rava car seats due to concerns the harness could loosen.

The recall affects several Rava car seat models, including CS-50, CS05101 and CS05103, the recall notice states. The issue stems from debris entering the area of the front harness adjuster, preventing the mechanism’s teeth from securely clamping onto the adjuster strap. The harness may fail to stay tight when securing a child in the seat, increasing the risk of harm in a crash.

Nuna says it plans to provide affected customers with a free remedy kit that includes a new seat pad and instructions for properly cleaning the harness adjuster area, according to the recall notice. Owners can identify the issue by testing whether the harness remains tight during use. 

Recall announced for power banks sold on Amazon

Charmast recalled more than 480,000 model W1056 power banks due to risk of overheating. 

The recall cites issues with the lithium ion battery, which can ignite after overheating, posing serious fire and burn risks. Charmast says it received 44 reports of incidents, including power banks igniting, melting or smoking, and four cases resulting in burns or blisters. 

Consumers should stop using the recalled power banks immediately and contact Charmast for a full refund, according to the recall notice. To obtain a refund, users must submit photos of their power bank’s model label with identifying details written above it, as well as a photo of the severed power cord. 

Melii Baby initiates spoon recall due to choking hazard

Melii Baby issued a recall for more than 85,000 silicone baby spoons due to a potential choking hazard. 

The company designed the spoons with animal-shaped handles that may break apart during use, posing a risk to infants, the recall notice states. The recall affects 6-inch spoons sold in three- and four-pack sets, as well as in a five-piece silicone feeding set. The three-pack spoons have the date code 2024-01, while the four-pack spoons have date codes ranging from 2023-12 to 2024-05. 

Consumers should stop using the recalled spoons immediately and contact Melii Baby for a free replacement set, according to the recall notice. To receive the replacement, customers must provide a photo of the product disposed of in the garbage. 

Recall issued for Jarritos Coconut Water as seal may be compromised

Jarritos recalled more than 2 million cans of its 17.5-fluid ounce coconut water due to concerns about improper sealing. 

The recall affects 169,438 cases of coconut water distributed across 29 states. The hermetic seal on the lids of the cans may be compromised, potentially leading to temporary or medically reversible health risks, according to the recall notice

Federal regulators classified the recall as Class II, indicating a low probability of serious health consequences. Novamex distributed the products, which it sold in states including Texas, New York, Florida and Ohio, the recall notice states. Consumers should stop using the recalled product immediately. 

Tesla recall over tire pressure light impacts 694K vehicles

Tesla recalled nearly 695,000 vehicles due to a potential malfunction in the tire pressure monitoring system. 

The recall affects 694,304 vehicles, including the 2024 Cybertruck, 2017–2025 Model 3 and 2020–2025 Model Y. The tire pressure warning light may fail to remain on between drive cycles, potentially leaving drivers unaware of low tire pressure, the recall notice states. Driving with improperly inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.

To address the issue, Tesla released an over-the-air software update free of charge to affected vehicles and plans to mail owner notification letters by Feb. 15, 2025, according to the recall notice.
