“Christmas may have passed, but our children’s gifts could still be dangerous,” AG Rokita said. “As a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or friend, you should not have to worry if a product you purchased for your precious little one could cause harm. Do not allow a flawed product to put your family in danger. Please stop using recalled items immediately and pursue resolution from the manufacturer.”
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the following consumer products were recalled in December:
- High-Powered Magnetic Balls Recalled Due to Ingestion Hazard sold exclusively on Walmart.com and through JoyBuy.
- Litti City and Litti Pritti Dress-up Playsets and Prextex Slime Eggs Recalled Due to Violations of Federal Phthalates and Lead Content Bans imported by Perch, Amusty, and Bingo Deals.
- Brandline Recalls HEAO High Chairs Due to Risk of Suffocation, Entrapment and Laceration Hazards; Violation of the Federal Safety Standards sold exclusively on Amazon.com.
- Room & Board Recalls Griffin Duo Bunk Beds Due to Risk of Collapse, Fall and Injury Hazards sold exclusively at Room & Board.
- Polaris Industries Recalls RZR 200 Youth Recreational Off-Road Vehicles (ROVs) Due to Crash Hazard and Risk of Serious Injury

If you recently purchased a recalled product, stop using it and check its recall notice. Then follow the notice’s instructions, including where to return the product, how to get the product fixed, how to dispose of the product, how to receive a refund for the product, or what steps must be taken to receive a replacement product.
