Papablic Convertible Bedside Sleepers
Papablic recalled about 248 convertible bedside sleepers with play yard extensions that violate the mandatory safety standard for play yards.
The mattress can become displaced, trapping a baby between the sleeping pad and bottom and posing a suffocation hazard. The latching and locking mechanism can also fail, causing the product to collapse and creating entrapment and fall hazards.
Consumers should stop using the sleepers, disassemble them, cut the mattress and fabric components in half, and email photographs of the destroyed components to support@papablic.com. Papablic will issue a full refund after receiving proof of destruction. Consumers should then dispose of the product.
Xalirium Portable Bed Rails
usOpal recalled about 200 Xalirium adult portable bed rails because users can become trapped within the rail or between the rail and mattress, posing a risk of death from asphyxiation.
The rails also fail structural stability and retention strap requirements, creating a fall hazard, and lack required hazard warning labels.
Consumers should stop using the rails, cut the black storage bag and straps, cut the foam padding, and write “RECALLED” on the upper and lower rails. A photograph of the marked rails must be sent to xaliriumofficial@outlook.com for a full refund. Consumers should then dispose of the product.
HatsanUSA Blitz Air Rifles
HatsanUSA recalled about 16,170 Blitz air rifles because they can fire unexpectedly when the bolt is released before the rifle is fully cocked, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
Consumers should stop using the rifles, make sure they are unloaded and contact HatsanUSA for a free trigger assembly replacement with instructions. Consumers who prefer company installation can request prepaid packaging to send the rifle to HatsanUSA for inspection and replacement.
