Products & foods are frequently recalled for a variety of reasons. It could be that injuries or illnesses have been reported by consumers, or that the United States government has found a defect or some misrepresentation on the part of the manufacturer.
Whatever the reason, the company has to make it right with consumers. Sometimes they will send a replacement, while other times they’ll refund your money.
Because we are bombarded in our busy lives with so much news and information every day, an important recall can be easy to miss.
To help you keep your family safe, I’ve put together this list of current recalls from Recalls.gov. If you have any question about whether or not a product you own is affected, contact the company directly for clarification.

Great posts on recalls. Too many times people aren’t aware of product recalls until it’s too late.
Such a helpful and varied list. These products really could cause a lot of damage. I never knew propane could be defective in that way, so important
Wow, I had no clue these were recalled. Will have to check with sister-in-law to see if my nice owns any of these. Thank you.
Thanks for this list. I often feel bombarded in the news feed as there are often so many recalls, many that don’t pertain to any of my items but this one does.
Thank you for putting this list together to help avoid any accidents for those that have purchased these items.
Yikes! There are NOT enough posts out there like this for parents. I had no idea about any of these and I have two kids!
Okay, I’ll admit I didn’t know about most of these products. But it’s to be reminded of things that could be harmful or cause damage.
It’s great that you’ve put all these in one list for people to find. I’m in the UK & often we’re just bombarded by things daily that it’s hard to keep up & notice when something may have been recalled x
The list is great and covers variety, Good job on recalls. So important to know . It is hard to keep up with all these recalls, but for safety becomes our duty also.
thank you for providing this list. It’s the worse thing ever when you find out that something you own has been a recall list and you had no knowledge of it.
The Land of Nod Nook toddler beds and Dream On Me crib and toddler bed mattresses sound like a real nightmare. Thanks for posting these.
I think we did have that mattress or at least that brand but we don’t use it anymore. I am glad i don’t have to mess with that!
Thank you for reminding me about the HP battery one! You know, I wish companies would spend more time doing their research to see if their products are safe before releasing them to the public. I feel like products are being made and sold at too fast a rate these days without the safety of the consumer being considered.
Thank you for this! I always find out about recalls when it’s too late and usually already have the product.
