The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has initiated a recall affecting around 500,000 items that were sold through Amazon.
This recall includes several products like power banks, children’s helmets, dressers, portable fans, crib mobiles, and baby loungers. The safety issues raised range from risks of fire to potential suffocation and injury.
Here’s a summary of the recalled products:
LXDHSTRA Baby Lounger and Crib Bumper
CPSC reported that roughly 360 baby loungers branded as LXDHSTRA, available on Amazon, have been flagged due to multiple violations regarding infant sleep product safety. Concerns include low sides, thick sleeping pads, and an enclosed foot area.
The accompanying crib bumper poses a risk since it might obstruct breathing and lead to choking hazards for infants.
Consumers are advised to cease using these products and contact the manufacturer via email for a full refund. More details can be found on the CPSC website.
Anker Power Banks
About 481,000 power banks from Anker are being recalled because of potential overheating issues in the lithium-ion batteries, which increases the risk of fire and burns. The affected models are:

Youbeien Crib Mobile
The recall also affects about 3,000 Youbeien crib mobiles. There’s a risk that infants could access the battery compartment, which may result in choking hazards if swallowed. Customers are urged to stop using the mobile and follow the instructions on the CPSC website for refunds.
