CPSC — Consumer Products

Lead: Death/serious-injury hazards

  • BRP is recalling Can-Am ATVs (recall 26482) after the Speed Limiter Mode was found to malfunction and cause unexpected acceleration — CPSC cites a "serious risk of injury or death from crash hazard." Owners are told to stop using Speed Limiter Mode immediately pending a fix.
  • Generac Power Systems (Waukesha, WI) expanded its earlier recall of Generac- and DR Power–branded electric-start pressure washers (26494) to add models whose start/stop button can self-actuate, creating a carbon-monoxide death risk in enclosed spaces.
  • Petzl America issued two separate fall-hazard recalls the same day: 26488 covers ASTRO BOD FAST, ASTRO SIT FAST and CANYON GUIDE harnesses with a D-ring that can release; 26487 covers SIMBA and SWAN EASYFIT harnesses missing rivets in their FAST LT PIN-LOCK buckles. Both affect work-at-height professionals and should be removed from service immediately.
  • Minka Lighting Group is recalling Bardon Series pendant fixtures (26479) whose frame can detach from the downrod during installation — an overhead impact hazard CPSC rates as potentially fatal.

Children's products — a heavy week

A cluster of child-focused recalls dominates the 5/07 and 5/14 release waves:

  • Cosyland Official's children's tower stools (26493) can collapse, tip, or allow a child's torso through front/back openings — combined tip-over, fall, and entrapment hazards. Guidecraft's standing towers (26490) have a separate defect: an internal platform that loosens and detaches, posing a fall hazard.
  • Reese's Law and toy-standard violations drove four battery-ingestion recalls: LiCB / Guangzhou Lichengbei lithium coin cells sold on Amazon (26484), EEMB USA battery pouches (26465), Missry Associates' Misco Sports Badminton Toy Sets (26483), and ZMC Group light-up toys (26466) — all lacked child-resistant packaging or had accessible button cells.
  • Helmet failures: Favoto bicycle helmets sold on Amazon (26467) and multi-purpose helmets from Foubeaka and Geniuss on Temu (26470) flunked positional-stability and certification requirements under the mandatory bike-helmet standard.
  • Other toy/clothing hazards: Tiyol pull-string teething toys from ZW Creations (26481) have oversized silicone strings that can lodge in the throat; Justforjoyful's Rainbow Wall xylophone toys (26472) have a spherical-tipped drumstick that violates the small-parts standard; Allura Imports youth bobcat-logo sweatshirts (26477) carry banned drawstrings on children's upper outerwear.
  • Furniture and sleep: UHOMEPRO 5-drawer dressers (26448) fail the mandatory clothing-storage-unit stability standard with documented tip-over/entrapment risk; EVLWZL and Gunugu mattresses (26478) fail mandatory flammability testing.

Adult and household hazards

  • Svnntaa adult portable bed rails sold on Amazon by Eokeanon (26468) violate the mandatory standard with documented entrapment/asphyxiation risk between rail and mattress.
  • Shenzhen Jiangtou Technology / Remy&shop Superbobi pool drain covers (26480) violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act, posing entrapment and drowning hazards — a category historically tied to child fatalities.
  • World Bright International's Agio Menlo woven patio swings sold at Costco (26485) can have the seat detach from the frame mid-use.
  • Amazon's own-brand Amazon Basics 55-lb adjustable dumbbells (26486) have plates that fail to fully engage and can fling off the handle — impact hazard, no listed injuries yet.
  • ZWILLING J.A. Henckels AG (Solingen, Germany) electric kettles (26489) have a handle that can separate from the body, scalding the user.
  • New Earth Technologies d.o.o. Analemma water bottles (26475) can shatter their inner glass liner, creating laceration and ingestion hazards.
  • Natural Pigments LLC (Willits, CA) Rublev Colours gum turpentine and mineral spirits (26469) shipped without the child-resistant packaging required under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

FDA — Drugs and Medical Products

Nitrosamine sweep on duloxetine widens

Three concurrent Class II recalls flag N-nitroso-duloxetine impurity above FDA's 0.83 ppm limit, detected at 12- and 18-month stability pulls: Ajanta Pharma duloxetine DR capsules 30 mg (D-0514-2026, NDCs 27241-098-09/03/10) and 20 mg (D-0516-2026, NDC 27241-097-06), plus Breckenridge Pharmaceutical's 60 mg DR capsules made by Towa Pharmaceutical Europe (D-0522-2026, NDC 51991-748-90). The pattern points to a class-wide stability/nitrosamine issue across multiple duloxetine manufacturers.

Sterility and contamination

  • CareFusion 213 LLC (a Becton Dickinson subsidiary, El Paso, TX) pulled two BD PurPrep povidone-iodine/IPA antiseptic applicator presentations — 10.5 mL singles (D-0518-2026) and 26 mL applicators NDC 54365-014-42 (D-0517-2026) — for "lack of assurance of sterility." Both are Class II; PurPrep is used pre-procedure, so hospital purchasing should verify lot status.
  • Central Admixture Pharmacy Services (CAPS) Los Angeles recalled a patient-specific 1,660 mL TPN bag, Rx# 11-4909703-0-1 (D-0524-2026, Class II), because it did not contain the insulin listed on the label — a dispensing-error formulation defect.
  • B. Braun Medical (Bethlehem, PA) initiated a not-yet-classified recall of Lactated Ringer's Injection USP 1,000 mL, NDC 0264-7750-07, for particulate matter. IV-fluid particulates warrant close attention pending classification.

Other oral drugs

  • Acella Pharmaceuticals naproxen oral suspension 125 mg/5 mL, 16 oz bottles NDC 42192-619-16 (D-0523-2026, Class II) — chemical contamination with lead and lithium above specification, notable given pediatric use of the suspension form.
  • Rising Pharma / JB Chemicals (Unique Pharmaceutical Labs, Mumbai) enalapril maleate 20 mg tablets, 1,000-count (D-0520-2026, Class II) — out-of-spec organic impurities.
  • Unichem Pharmaceuticals USA buspirone HCl 5 mg tablets, 500-count (D-0511-2026) — Class III subpotency, the lowest-severity classification in today's batch.
