2.6M Stanley Travel Mugs Recalled Due To Burn Risk [Recall Roundup]

Stanley has recalled 2.6 million of its popular mugs sold in the United States after receiving dozens of reports from customers who had been burned, and half a million power chargers sold on Amazon were recalled because they can catch fire and melt.

Also recently recalled are certain lots of Lay’s potato chips due to a risk of a “life-threatening allergic reaction,” a weight loss supplement that tested positive for deadly yellow oleander, and more than 600,000 child car seats that may not restrain children in a crash.

This report was sourced from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission.

Stanley Cups Recalled For Burn Hazards

Stanley received 91 reports from customers worldwide, including 16 in the United States, stating that the lids on their Switchback and Trigger Action stainless steel travel mugs detached during use, the CPSC said in a statement on the company’s recall of 2.6 million of its popular travel mugs.

The lid threads can shrink when exposed to heat and as they’re screwed on and off, according to the statement. The problem resulted in 38 burn injuries worldwide, including two in the United States. Eleven of those injured needed medical attention.

The mugs were sold at Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target and other stores nationwide and online from June 2016 through December 2024 for between $20 and $50, depending on the model.

The recall covers 12- and 16-ounce Switchback cups and 12-, 16- and 20-ounce Trigger Action models that were sold at Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target and other stores nationwide from June 2016 through December 2024 for between $20 and $50.

500,000 Power Bank Chargers Recalled

Nearly half a million Charmast power bank chargers sold on Amazon have been recalled because they pose fire and burn hazards, according to a release on the CPSC website.

The manufacturer, based in China, has received 44 reports of power banks “expanding, igniting, melting, overheating or smoking, including four reports of consumers receiving burns or blisters,” according to the release.

Customers who bought the chargers should stop using them and contact the manufacturer for a refund.

Some Lay’s Classic Potato Chips Recalled

Frito-Lay is recalling a limited number of its 13-ounce Lay’s Classic Potato Chips after the FDA was alerted by a consumer that the chips might contain undeclared milk, posing a “life-threatening” risk to people with milk allergies.

“Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the FDA said in the recall notice.

No allergic reactions related to the recall have been reported, according to the notice. No other Lay's products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are affected.

The products were distributed to some retail stores and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington. They were available for sale beginning on Nov. 3.

Child Car Seats May Fail

Nuna Baby Essentials Inc. is recalling about 608,786 Rava child seats because the front harness may not restrain a child in the event of a crash, according to a notice on the NHTSA website.

The recall involves Rava child seats with a plastic harness adjuster button, manufactured between July 16, 2016, and Oct. 25, 2023.

Debris may enter the front harness adjuster and cause the mechanism to fail, resulting in a loose harness. Nuna will provide owners a free repair kit, but has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification.

Owners may contact Nuna customer service at 855-686-2891 or email at info.usa@nunababy.com; call the NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY800-424-9153); or go to nhtsa.gov. The campaign number for this recall is 24C002000.

Tests Show Oleander In VidaSlim Supplements

San Antonio, Texas-based Motivate Me Ashley LLC is recalling its VidaSlim-brand products after samples tested by the FDA showed the presence of yellow oleander, which is poisonous when ingested by humans.

The products were recalled over concerns that other lots may also contain yellow oleander, the FDA said. Consuming yellow oleander can cause adverse neurological, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular problems that can be serious or even fatal. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, heart changes, arrhythmia, and others.

The recalled supplements include:

• VidaSlim 90-day (Original Root, Root Plus, and Root Capsules),
• VidaSlim 30-day (Original Root, Root Plus, and Root Capsules),
• VidaSlim 7-day Sample Size (Original Root, Root Plus, and Root Capsules), and
• VidaSlim Hot Body Brew (Strawberry and Peach flavors).

The products were sold online at www.vidaslim.com and through direct sales via independent distributors.
