Costco Recall Update as Customers Told to 'Immediately' Stop Using Products
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Costco has announced recalls for several products stocked in its stores, with some notices instructing customers to stop using the items immediately. Danby Air Conditioners Customers who purchased Danby brand U-shaped window Air Conditioners from Costco between June 10, 2021, and February 2, 2022, have been warned to stop using the products immediately. The supplier Midea America Corp. is recalling the product as they say the air conditioners present a risk of mold growth, due to pooled water in the appliance not draining quickly enough. Mold exposure poses risks of respiratory issues or other infections, the recall notice said. The supplier is offering a free repair kit, depending on the model of air conditioner, or a full or prorated refund. Costco members can return the air conditioner to a Costco warehouse for a full refund. The items have the model number DAC080B6IWDB-6. BowFlex Dumbbells Customers who have purchased BowFlex 552 adjustable dumbbells from Costco have been advised to immediately stop using the product due to malfunctioning risks.

Customers can return the items to Costco for a full refund. Anker Power Banks Anker has issued a voluntary recall of several of its power banks due to a potential issue involving lithium-ion battery cells. The company stated the recall is limited to power banks of the Model A1257 (10,000mAh, 22.5W), which were manufactured by a single vendor, and noted that the risk of malfunction remains low. Any customers who have purchased an affected power bank can receive a replacement after providing proof of their purchase. Michelin Tires Michelin has recalled certain tires that it says do not conform to regulatory requirements and could, therefore, increase the risk of a car crash. The affected products are certain Agilis CrossClimate C-Metric tires in the 185/60R15C size, which were found to not meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, which sets safety and performance requirements for new radial tires on light vehicles. The company said that chunks of tread rubber could detach from the shoulder block of the tires. Customers who have purchased the affected tires are asked to visit their local Michelin retailer, which will remove the tires and replace them with an equivalent tire free of charge. The recall notice provides information about how to identify whether tires are from the affected batch.

BowFlex adjustable dumbbells recalled after dislodging injuries
BowFlex is recalling millions of units of its adjustable dumbbells because their weight plates can dislodge and cause injury to users. The recall comes after over 100 reports of injuries including concussions, abrasions, broken toes or contusions, according to the CPSC. The dumbbells are popular because of their versatility: They allow users to lift dumbbells of different weights, without owning a full set of individually weighted dumbbells, which would take up a lot of space. A total of 3,844,200 units of the product are being recalled, according to a notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Thursday. That includes 3.7 million units that were sold by Nautilus Inc. Nautilus changed its corporate name to BowFlex in 2023. BowFlex filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2024 and was acquired by Johnson Health Tech Retail, which will refund customers for the dumbbells' purchase price in the form of a voucher or for replacement units, so long as they were purchased from Johnson Health Tech Trading. For customers who purchased the dumbbells from BowFlex, formerly Nautilus, consumers may request a refund in the form of a prorated voucher. They are also eligible to receive a one year digital fitness membership through Johnson Health Tech Trading. Johnson Health Tech Trading is reaching out to its customers directly, according to the recall notice. Consumer Reports, the nonprofit consumer product testing organization, said the company's remedy is insufficient. "Consumers should be able to receive their money back in full, no strings attached," she said in a statement to The recalled dumbbell sets, called the "BowFlex 552, 52.5-lb Adjustable Dumbbells," and the "BowFlex 1090, 90-lb Adjustable Dumbbells," were sold in pairs and as single units. The black weights came with handles, weight plates and a plastic storage tray. The 1090 dumbbells could be adjusted to weigh between 10 and 90 pounds. The CPSC is urging owners of the recalled dumbbells to stop using them immediately, and to seek out a refund. Consumers can fill out a claim form here.
