6 new product recalls have been announced since last week from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) including fireworks, hoverboards, and strollers.
Winco Fireworks
Cone Fountain Fireworks are being recalled by Wino Fireworks due to an issue when igniting. The device can burst and spray sparks along with pyrotechnic materials outward instead of upward. This poses a fire and burn hazard to bystanders. 14,000 units are being recalled; however no injuries have been reported. Immediately return the recalled fireworks to the retailer where purchased, and you will receive a refund or the option to exchange. {See the Recall}

Digital Gadgets LLC, Hoverboard LLC, Hype Wireless, Keenford Ltd., PTX Performance Products USA, Razor USA LLC, Swagway LLC, and Yuka Clothing are recalling their hoverboards due to an overheating issue. The lithium-ion battery packs in the self-balancing hoverboards can overheat, posing a risk that the product will start smoking, catch fire, or even explode. At least 99 incidents have been reported, resulting in burn injuries and property damage. Consumers are asked to immediately stop using these recalled products and contact the recalling company for a full refund. {See the recall list}
Baby Swaddles
Little Lotus baby swaddles by Embrace Technologies are being recalled because the shoulder snaps on the swaddles and sleeping bags can break or detach.
