In addition, Zazaba International called back Grao de Gente baby nests and crib bumpers due to suffocation risk.

In most of the recalls, consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled product, and contact the respective firm for either a free repair, replacement or refund, depending on each product.

Walmart Electric Mini Choppers

Walmart's recall includes about 51,750 units of Mainstays Electric Mini Choppers with model number MS14100094536S1 sold exclusively at Walmart. The choppers are rechargeable and cordless, and have a green lid, white body, and clear plastic bowl.

The recall was initiated after the company received five reports of lacerations, two of which required medical attention, including stitches. Injuries occurred during assembly of the product or during cleaning/handling of the product.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled choppers, and contact Walmart to receive a full refund.

Thule Child Bike Seats

Seymour, Connecticut-based Thule called back RideAlong rear-mounted Child Bike Seat that fits most bicycle frames. About 8,640 units of RideAlong rear-mounted Child Bike Seats were sold in the United States and about 3,880 units in Canada.

Endurance Hand Bed Rails

Orlando, Florida -based Essential Medical Supply Inc. has reannounced the recall of four models of Endurance Hand Bed Rails.

The recall involves the Hand Bed Rail (model P1410), Hand Bed Rail with Pouch (model P1410-P), Hand Bed Rail with Floor Support (model P1411), and Hand Bed Rail with Floor Support with Pouch (model P1411-P).

When attached to an adult's bed, users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the rail and the side of the mattress. This could result in a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation.

The products were originally recalled in December 2021 following the entrapment death of an 86-year-old man in California. Since that recall was announced, two additional entrapment deaths have been reported in Connecticut, and in California.

Consumers are asked to stop using the recalled bed rails immediately and to check their homes and the homes and assisted living facilities for the recalled bed rails.

C2 Crank Cocking Aids

Excalibur Crossbow US LLC has recalled C2 Crank sold as a cocking aid for crossbows. About 15,000 units were sold in the U.S. and about 3,920 units in Canada.

They were manufactured in Canada and sold at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, and other stores nationwide and online at excaliburcrossbow.com, ebay.com and amazon.com from January 2008 through December 2021 for about $190.

According to the agency, the C2 Crank's cocking hooks can break during use, causing flying plastic hook projectiles, posing impact injury and laceration hazards to the user and bystanders.

Dania Beach, Florida -based Zazaba International Inc. called back about 430 units of Grao de Gente Baby Nests and about 795 units of Grao de Gente Crib Bumper Bedding Sets.

The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC's Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants.

With Crib Bumper Bedding Sets, infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the crib bumper in a position that obstructs breathing. Padded crib bumpers are banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021.
