Recalls in September 2024

Dearborn Sausage Company, Inc., has issued a recall of approximately 1,944 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) wiener products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.

The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said the labels of the two products implicated in the recall were inadvertently swapped, resulting in soy, a known allergen, and pork not being declared on the product labels. 

The RTE wiener items were produced August 7, 2024. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:

• 2-lb. vacuum-sealed packages of “BROOKSIDE BRAND FULLY COOKED NATURAL CASING BEEF WIENERS” that may contain undeclared pork with lot code A0122024 and sell by date 11/05/2024.

• 2-lb. vacuum-sealed packages of “BROOKSIDE BRAND NATURAL CASING FULLY COOKED WIENERS” that may contain undeclared soy with lot code A0322024 and sell by date 11/05/2024.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 10002” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

What to do

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.  

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ and retailers’ refrigerators and/or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Tongao, of China, is recalling nearly 5,000  MJKSARE high chairs sold at Amazon because they violate the federal regulation for high chairs. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the chairs pose entrapment and fall hazards.

The recalled high chairs violate the regulations for high chairs, as the leg openings on the high chair are too wide, posing an entrapment hazard to infants. Additionally, the high chairs pose a fall hazard because the tray can become disengaged from the product.

The recall involves MJKSARE high chairs, model H-601. The high chairs fold open and closed and are covered in green padding. 

The front tray is green with a small cup holder. There is a tag on the bottom of the seat padding of the high chair with the date of manufacture in the format of “MM/YYYY.” All production dates are included in the recall.

The product was sold online at Amazon.com from February 2024 through March 2024 for about $70.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the high chair, and contact TONGAO for instructions on how to dispose of the chair and receive a full refund. Amazon is contacting all known purchasers directly.

Intellio Toys is recalling 12,400 Bright Builder Fort Kits because of a battery ingestion hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the toy violates federal regulations covering battery-operated toys.

The flashlight on the recalled kits violates the mandatory federal battery-operated toy regulation because the flashlights contain button cell batteries in a compartment that can be easily opened without requiring the use of a common household tool. 

When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death, posing an ingestion hazard. The toy forts were sold at Amazon.com and Intelliotoys.com from December 2022 through August 2024 for between $38 and $49 for the kits and between $14 and $15 for the flashlight only.

The recall involves Intellio Toys’ Bright Builder fort kits, models FKL-BG, FKL-BR, L-5BG and L-5BR. The green and blue, or red and blue, 100-piece fort-building kits contain 45 long sticks, 25 short sticks, 15 connecting tubes, 25 multilink balls, and a pack of five flashlights with button cell batteries. 

The flashlights were sold as part of the kit and individually as an add add-on component. “Bright Builder” is on the front of the kit box and “Intellio Toys” is on the side panel. The model number can be found on the bottom right corner of the back of the box. Only Bright Builder fort kits with flashlights are included in this recall.

Intellio Toys has received one report of the batteries coming out the flashlight while handling it. No injuries have been reported.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the flashlights in the recalled fort kits, keep them away from children, and contact Intellio Toys for instructions on how to receive a refund between $10 and $15, depending on the model. 

Consumers can continue to use the fort kits without the flashlights. Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local procedures for hazardous household waste. Amazon and Intellio Toys are contacting all known purchasers directly.
