Amazon has pulled roughly 500,000 products from its marketplace in September 2025 due to serious safety hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recalls span several product categories with various safety risks, from fire hazards to suffocation dangers.
The largest recall involves Anker power banks, with about 481,000 units affected. Models A1647, A1652, A1257, A1681 and A1689 have been recalled after 33 reports of overheating and explosions, including four burn injuries and one case of significant property damage. These lithium-ion devices, sold for $30-$50 between August 2023 and June 2025, can overheat during charging.
Baby products make up several smaller but critical recalls. About 360 LXDHSTRA baby loungers and crib bumpers were pulled for violating the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. These items feature dangerously low sides, thick sleeping pads, and wide foot openings that create suffocation and entrapment risks for infants.

Other recalls include 22,600 IcyBreeze Buddy portable misting fans linked to seven overheating incidents including two fires, 1,780 YooxArmor kids’ helmets that fail federal safety standards for impact protection, and 3,000 Youbeien crib mobiles with easily accessible button batteries that pose serious ingestion hazards.
Approximately 11,200 Enhomee 13-drawer dressers were also recalled for failing to meet tip-over standards required by the STURDY Act.
The CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using these products and follow specific return instructions for each item. For most products, customers must provide proof of destruction to receive refunds. Anker power bank owners should visit the company’s recall page to verify serial numbers and register for refunds.
Similarly, those with recalled helmets need to cut the straps and submit photos, while baby lounger owners must cut the products in half.
Consumers can verify affected models and find refund instructions through the CPSC recall database at cpsc.gov or the Amazon Product Safety Alerts page.
