Eight Product Recalls Announced March 19

Multiple product recalls were announced March 19, 2026, involving helmets, steamers, infant walkers, gas ranges, pocket knives, electric bicycles, tumblers and office chairs due to safety hazards.

Aisstxoer adult bicycle helmets sold on Amazon by YXTDZ Store were recalled because they violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets do not comply with impact attenuation, positional stability and certification requirements, which can prevent them from protecting users in a crash and create a risk of serious injury or death from head injury. About 200 units are included in the recall. Consumers are instructed to stop using the helmets immediately, destroy them by cutting the straps, and email a photo of the destroyed helmet to yxtdzamz@126.com to receive a full refund.

Wagner Spray Tech recalled 900 Series Power Steamers because the attached hose can become excessively hot and the nozzle or gun can expel hot water during and after use, creating a burn hazard. About 700,000 units were recalled in the United States, along with about 8,000 in Canada. Consumers should stop using the steamers immediately and contact Wagner for a free repair kit that includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover and funnel. Consumers can contact Wagner through its recall website, by email at us-wagnerrecall@wagner-group.com or by phone at 800-962-6118.

Infant walkers sold on Amazon by Goregent Official Store were recalled because they violate the mandatory standard for infant walkers. The walkers can fit through a standard doorway and fail to stop at the edge of a step, creating a fall hazard that could result in serious injury or death. About 90 units are included in the recall. Consumers should stop using the walkers immediately, disassemble them, remove the fabric seat, write “Recalled” on the top of the tray in permanent marker, and send a photo to GoregentInfantWalkersRecall@outlook.com to receive a full refund.

Electrolux Group recalled Frigidaire gas ranges because the ovens can experience delayed ignition of the bake burner, creating a burn hazard. About 174,800 ranges were recalled in the United States, in addition to about 5,300 sold in Canada. Consumers should stop using the ovens immediately and contact Electrolux Group for a free repair. The company said consumers can continue using the cooktop burners. Electrolux will provide professional in-home installation of a new bake burner at no cost. Consumers can contact the company through its recall website, by email at gasovenburnerrecall@electrolux.com or by phone at 866-291-7633.

Amazon recalled Amazon Basics camping folding pocket knives because the folding mechanism on the blade can fail to remain secured in the closed position, creating a laceration hazard. About 2,840 knives are included in the recall. Consumers should stop using the knives immediately and register for the recall online. Amazon said consumers will receive a prepaid return kit and instructions to safely return the knife. A full refund will be issued to the original payment method or as an Amazon gift card.

Specialized Bicycle Components recalled Specialized Turbo Como SL electric bicycles because the fork steerer tube can develop a small fatigue crack that can lead to progressive fork failure, creating a fall hazard and a risk of serious injury or death. About 5,720 bicycles are included in the recall. Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately and contact an Authorized Specialized Retailer to schedule a free fork replacement. Replacement parts are expected to be available in spring 2026. Consumers can contact Specialized through its website, by email at ridercare@specialized.com or by phone at 877-808-8154.

Lifetime Brands recalled BUILT LUUM Light Up Tumblers because the LED tumblers can break and expose button cell batteries, creating choking and battery ingestion hazards for children. Swallowed button cell or coin batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death. About 75,700 tumblers are included in the recall. Consumers should stop using the tumblers immediately, keep them out of children’s reach, properly dispose of the battery, and contact Lifetime Brands for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to throw away the LED light piece and upload a photo of the product in the trash through the company’s recall form. The company noted that button cell batteries should be disposed of or recycled according to local hazardous waste procedures.
