CPSC recalls of household, juvenile, recreational, and electrical consumer products.
Consumer product recalls in our database come from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC oversees more than 15,000 categories of products you'd encounter in a household — toys, baby gear, furniture, appliances, electronics, batteries, recreational and sporting equipment, kitchenware. CPSC excludes anything covered by another federal agency: it doesn't touch food, drugs, vehicles, firearms, or boats.
The hazards trend toward predictable categories. Lithium-ion batteries that overheat or ignite (especially in e-bikes, scooters, portable chargers, and laptops). Choking hazards in toys and juvenile products, often when small parts detach with normal use. Fall and tip-over risk in furniture, especially dressers and bookcases. Lead paint or banned phthalates in imported children's products. Magnet-set ingestion risk, which surges every few years as new product variants reach the market. Strangulation hazards on window-covering cords, which CPSC has been trying to eliminate by industry standard for over a decade.
The remedy is almost always a free replacement, refund, or repair kit through the manufacturer. CPSC publishes the manufacturer's contact information on each recall page; that's the right place to start. Don't simply throw the recalled product away — if the hazard is fire, lithium, or lead, follow the disposal guidance in the recall notice.
