Recalls are crucial to consumer safety, but they often fly under the radar until it’s too late.
From the food we eat to the cars we drive, contaminated products to defective items can pose serious risks to our health and safety.

228K camping cots recalled due to laceration and amputation hazards
The Coleman Company is recalling more than 228,000 Converta camping cots and Converta camping suspension stretchers due to a malfunction that can cause serious injuries.
“The backrest fold mechanism can pinch consumers’ fingers,” causing lacerations and potential amputations, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
There were seven instances of the mechanism pinching customers’ fingers with two of those reports resulting in injuries where the fingers were fractured.
The model numbers affected include 2000003077 and 2000020282.
The products were sold at Walmart and online at Amazon from January 2011 through March 2025, ranging in price from $60 and $80.
The CPSC is urging people to stop using the cots and contact The Coleman Company for a repair kit with instructions at no charge.
31K bicycle helmets recalled due to head injury risk
Bell Sports is recalling more than 31,000 bicycle helmets because they might cause head injuries.
The recalled Bell Sports Axle, Cadence, Rev and Frenzy children’s bicycle helmets don’t comply with federal safety standards for helmets so there is a likelihood that the product can fail to protect a cyclist from a head injury in the event of a crash, according to the CPSC.
No injuries have been reported to date.
The helmets were sold at Walmart, Target, Academy Sports+ Outdoors, and other stores nationwide, including online at Amazon.
The products were on sale from “September 2024 through May 2025 for about $20,” according to the CPSC.
The CPSC is urging people to stop using the recalled helmets and contact Bell Sports for a full refund.
To obtain a refund, customers should cut the straps of the helmet and email a picture of the destroyed helmet to [email protected] to get a refund.
