Consumer Recalls Daily — 2026-05-21
TITLE: Recall Digest May 21: Can-Am ATVs, Petzl harnesses, Generac washers lead death-risk wave; duloxetine nitrosamine wave widens
---
The past two weeks produced an unusually heavy slate of life-safety recalls on the CPSC side — children's products, fall-protection gear, and CO-emitting power equipment dominate — while FDA action centered on a widening N-nitroso-duloxetine problem and sterility/contamination issues across injectables and topicals.
CPSC — Consumer Products
Death/serious-injury risk: powered equipment and vehicles
- Recall 26482: BRP is recalling Can-Am ATVs after the speed limiter control was found to malfunction and cause unexpected acceleration; the agency cites a serious risk of injury or death and tells owners to stop using Speed Limiter Mode immediately pending a dealer remedy.
- Recall 26494: Generac Power Systems (Waukesha, WI) is expanding its earlier recall of Generac- and DR Power–branded electric-start pressure washers to include additional models, after the start/stop button was found to self-actuate — a carbon-monoxide death risk if the unit is stored in any partially enclosed space.
Fall-protection failures (climbing/work-at-height)
Petzl America issued two simultaneous harness recalls — both flagged as serious-injury-or-death fall hazards and aimed at work-at-height professionals as well as recreational climbers:
- Recall 26488: ASTRO BOD FAST, ASTRO SIT FAST and CANYON GUIDE harnesses can have a D-ring release that opens the attachment point under load.
- Recall 26487: SIMBA and SWAN EASYFIT harnesses were shipped missing rivets in the FAST LT PIN-LOCK buckles, allowing buckles to open in use.
Children's products — the bulk of this cycle
The CPSC continued an aggressive push against non-compliant kids' goods, with multiple recalls citing the federal toy standard, Reese's Law (coin batteries), or the clothing-storage-unit (STURDY) rule:
- Recall 26493 (Cosyland tower stools, imported by Cosyland Official) and Recall 26490 (Guidecraft children's standing towers) both involve collapse/tip-over fall hazards; the Cosyland units additionally have openings that fit a child's torso, raising entrapment risk.
- Recall 26448: UHOMEPRO-imported 5-drawer dressers fail the mandatory clothing-storage-unit standard, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards to children if not anchored.
- Recall 26481: Tiyol pull-string teething toys (sold on Amazon by ZW Creations) have silicone strings longer than allowed and can lodge in a child's throat.
- Recall 26472: Rainbow Wall xylophone toys (Amazon seller Justforjoyful) have a spherical-end drumstick that is a choking hazard.
- Battery-ingestion recalls under Reese's Law hit hard this cycle: Recall 26484 (LiCB / Guangzhou Lichengbei lithium coin batteries sold on Amazon, lacking child-resistant packaging and required warnings), Recall 26465 (EEMB USA battery pouches), Recall 26483 (Missry Associates' Misco Sports badminton sets with button-cell shuttlecocks), and Recall 26466 (ZMC Group light-up toys with accessible button cells).
- Recall 26477: Allura Imports youth bobcat-logo sweatshirts violate the children's upper-outerwear drawstring rule — a strangulation hazard.
- Recall 26468: Svnntaa adult portable bed rails (Amazon seller Eokeanon) fail the mandatory adult bed-rail standard, with entrapment and asphyxiation hazards documented in that product category historically.
- Recall 26469: Natural Pigments (Willits, CA) is recalling Rublev Colours gum turpentine and mineral spirits sold without the child-resistant packaging required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.
Helmets failing the bicycle-helmet standard
- Recall 26467 (Favoto helmets on Amazon) and Recall 26470 (multi-purpose helmets sold on Temu by Foubeaka and Geniuss) both fail positional stability and certification requirements under the mandatory bicycle helmet standard, with risk of serious head injury or death in a crash.
Other adult-use hazards
- Recall 26480: Superbobi pool drain covers (manufactured by Shenzhen Jiangtou Technology, dba Remy&shop) violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act — entrapment and drowning hazard.
- Recall 26478: EVLWZL- and Gunugu-branded mattresses fail the federal mattress flammability standard.
- Recall 26485: Agio Menlo woven patio swings sold at Costco (importer World Bright International) can have the seat detach from the frame mid-use.
- Recall 26479: Minka Lighting Group's Bardon Series pendant fixtures can have the frame detach from the downrod during installation — an impact hazard rated as serious injury/death risk.
- Recall 26489: ZWILLING J.A. Henckels (Solingen, Germany) electric kettles can shed their handles, causing hot-liquid burn injuries.
- Recall 26486: Amazon Basics 55 lb adjustable dumbbells can fail to lock plates onto the handle, dislodging weights — impact hazard.
- Recall 26475: Analemma water bottles (imported by New Earth Technologies d.o.o.) have an inner glass liner that can shatter, posing laceration and ingestion hazards.
FDA — Drugs and Sterile Products
No Class I recalls were posted in this window; the most consequential action is a clustered nitrosamine problem in duloxetine.
Duloxetine nitrosamine cluster (Class II)
Three separate firms posted duloxetine recalls citing N-nitroso-duloxetine above FDA's 0.83 ppm limit, identified at 12- and 18-month stability pulls:
