Pura Scents Recalling More Than 850,000 Diffuser Covers as Magnet Issue May Cause Ingestion Hazard
The company is recalling the detachable covers for about 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers. It said an additional 1,100 were sold in Canada.
Pura Scents said that the magnets on the inside cover of the product can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

The company has received three reports of magnets detaching from the cover. No injuries have been reported.
The diffusers were sold at Target, Scheels and other stores nationwide from August 2023 through May 2025 for about $50. They were also sold online through Pura's website, as well as online at Amazon, Target and Scheels.
Pura Scents is offering a free replacement cover. Consumers are advised to immediately dispose of the existing detachable cover and to keep the diffusers out of the reach of children and pets.
To receive the free replacement cover, individuals may contact Pura Scents at 855-394-5292 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday. The company can also be emailed at replacement@pura.com.

This Foundation Stayed Flawless In 90 Degree Heat
There's something about a brutally hot day that makes me completely rethink my makeup routine — and foundation is usually the first to go. When the temps creep into the 90s and the humidity is giving 'steam room,' the last thing I want is to feel my makeup sliding off my face before I even leave the apartment. It's either bare skin or bust unless I find something that can actually withstand the heat. Normally, I'd skip foundation altogether to avoid the dreaded midday melt, but a few weeks ago, I decided to put Clinique's Even Better Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Foundation to the test, and honestly? Game-changer. I put this foundation to the test in the summer heat, and it didn't disappoint. I applied the foundation around 9 a.m. with just my fingers (because I was running late, naturally). It went on smooth, felt weightless and gave me this radiant, healthy finish — the kind that says 'I drink water' even when I don't. I have dark spots from past breakouts, and this foundation blurred them instantly without looking heavy or mask-like. It gave me just enough coverage to feel confident but still let my skin breathe. I didn't even need to set it with lunchtime, I'd been out in the sun walking around SoHo and grabbing an iced matcha. Normally I'd be melting — especially with SPF involved — but nope. Still intact. Still glowy. Still zero white the time I got home around 9 p.m., I did a quick mirror check and audibly said, 'Wait… how?' It didn't fade. It didn't cling to dry patches. It didn't separate or settle into lines. And my skin still felt soft and hydrated, not sticky or oily. What I love most is that it's skincare-meets-makeup without making you choose between the two. This foundation is now my go-to for everyday makeup. The formula is designed to visibly improve skin tone with consistent use, thanks to vitamin C. I have a few spots from past breakouts, and after a couple weeks of use, I noticed those marks looked a little less angry. It also has SPF 15, which is nice to have for everyday protection (though I still layer a sunscreen underneath for full coverage, especially in the summer). And the best part? It's only $39 at Target. So you're not just getting a solid foundation — you're getting one that actually earns its spot in your routine, even when the heat is trying to sabotage your face. See what reviewers of have to say about this beloved Clinique foundation: Get it from Target for $39 (available in 50 shades).

Nearly a million Pura scent diffusers were just recalled — here's why
Scent is a great way to transform any space. You can light a candle, spritz some perfume or use a scent diffuser to create a pleasant aroma in any room of your house. If a scent diffuser is your go-to, you'll just want to pay attention to this news: Pura Scents just recalled nearly a million diffusers. According to the recall alert, the cover on certain models can easily loosen, causing internal magnets to fall out. Read on to find out why this is considered dangerous and what to do if you have an impacted diffuser. Why were Pura scent diffusers recalled? Approximately 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers were recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The impacted units were sold online at Pura, Amazon, Scheel and Target (as well as in store at Target and Scheel) between August 2023 and May 2025. These diffusers have a detachable cover that contains five magnets. The reason for the recall is that the magnets can come loose and pose an ingestion risk to children and pets. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received three reports of magnets coming loose, though they have not received any reports of them being ingested. The recalled diffusers have the following serial number ranges: JX230000001 to JX230801425 and JX240000001 to JX240049959. If you have one of these diffusers, Pura Scents will contact you. You can also contact them to request a replacement cover by heading to their website. Other scent diffusers to use instead Perhaps you have one of the impacted diffusers, or have never had a scent diffuser and want to try one. Below, we've rounded up a few highly rated diffusers to consider. Pura makes a smaller diffuser ideal for home offices, bathrooms or hallways. You can adjust the intensity of the scent and set a schedule or timer from the Pura app. In addition to the diffuser, you need to buy a fragrance to place in it, which costs around $15, depending on the scent. One bottle lasts for approximately 30 days, according to the brand. This highly rated diffuser has seven ambient light modes and four timer settings. It also has an auto-shutoff feature when water levels are low. This set has ten essential oils, including tea tree, lavender and lemongrass. This ceramic diffuser has two misting modes — one diffuses continuously, the other intermittently. You can use any essential oil in the diffuser (just add a few drops to the water) and it has a light that can be used as a nightlight. Why trust NBC Select?
