Costco is alerting its members about several urgent product recalls, asking customers to stop using certain items immediately due to potential safety risks.

The company has flagged issues ranging from fire hazards to health and injury concerns across a wide range of household and personal products.

One of the most urgent recalls involves Anker Power Banks. Two models sold through Costco Next — A1257 and A1263 — may overheat or have faulty lithium-ion battery cells.

According to Anker, customers should "stop using the device immediately" and request a replacement.

Another major recall affects Danby U-shaped window air conditioners. The units reportedly retain water, which can lead to mold growth.

Mold exposure can cause breathing problems, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

Costco recommends that customers with these units, including Midea and Frigidaire models, stop using them right away. The supplier is offering repair kits or refunds.

According to Newsweek, Fitness equipment is also on the list. The BowFlex 552 adjustable dumbbells have a dangerous defect where weight plates may fall off during use, risking injury.

The manufacturer, Johnson Health Tech Trading, has recalled the product, and Costco is providing full refunds.

Costco Recalls Topo Chico Water Over Bacterial Contamination

Michelin Agilis CrossClimate tires (size 185/60R15C) are being recalled because they fail to meet federal safety standards.

The company warns that chunks of rubber might detach, increasing the chance of an accident. Customers should visit any Michelin dealer for a free tire replacement.

Also recalled are Bridgestone Blizzak 6 tires (size 235/40R19) for lacking the required DOT certification seal. While the tires meet performance requirements, the missing seal could result in misuse.

Some kitchen and outdoor items have also raised red flags. The Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker + Air Fryer may open while pressurized, risking burns.

Igloo's 90 Qt Flip & Tow Cooler could crush fingers under the tow handle. Both items should not be used until repaired or replaced, USA Today said.

There's also a health alert for Topo Chico mineral water sold in select Texas and Louisiana locations.

Some bottles may contain a type of bacteria that could affect people with weak immune systems.

Another food item, Fresh and Ready prepared meals, may be contaminated with Listeria and should not be eaten.

Costco members can find more details, including how to process returns or request replacements, on the Product Recalls page of Costco's website. Most items can be returned at any warehouse for a full refund.
