Amazon has pulled more than half a million products from its website following serious safety concerns, including risks of fire, suffocation, and injury, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The affected items include baby gear, misting fans, power banks, helmets, and crib mobiles — many of which were sold between late 2023 and mid-2025.

The biggest recall on the list affects more than 480,000 Anker power banks, which have been found to pose a fire risk.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said it has received 33 reports of the devices overheating or exploding, with four people suffering burn injuries.

According to the NY Post, the recalled models—A1647, A1652, A1257, A1681, and A1689—were sold between January and July 2024.

Anker is offering refunds, and customers are being urged to stop using the power banks immediately and dispose of them safely.

Parents are also being warned about another serious recall. Baby loungers and crib bumpers sold by a Chinese seller named LXDHSTRA on Amazon between May and August 2025 were pulled from the market on September 18.

Amazon Recalls Infant Products Over Federal Violations

Officials said the products do not meet federal safety standards for infant sleep. The design, which features low side walls, thick padding, and wide foot openings, increases the risk of suffocation and entrapment.

Additionally, the crib bumpers violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. While no injuries have been reported, buyers are urged to stop using the products and request a refund by submitting proof of destruction to the seller.

IcyBreeze Cooling also issued a recall for 22,600 Buddy Portable Misting Fans after seven reports of overheating, including two fires, Newsweek said.

These fans were sold between November 2023 and August 2024. The company is offering a $150 store credit for customers who properly dispose of the fans and submit photos as proof.

Also pulled from Amazon's digital shelves were YooxArmor multi-purpose kids' helmets, nearly 1,800 units in total.

These helmets failed to meet basic federal bicycle helmet safety standards and posed a risk of head injury. Though no injuries have occurred, customers are being offered refunds after they cut the helmet straps and submit pictures to the manufacturer.

Lastly, 3,000 crib mobiles from Youbeien, sold by GKKBSJ, were recalled for unsafe battery compartments.

The design lets children access button batteries, which can be swallowed and cause internal injuries or even death. No injuries have been reported, but parents are advised to stop using the mobiles right away.
