Indiana – A coffee maker on the kitchen counter. A dresser in a child’s bedroom. A brush beside the backyard grill. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita’s latest recall warning reaches into everyday routines, covering products whose defects can cause serious injuries before a household realizes something is wrong.
Rokita is urging Hoosiers to check their homes for products recalled in October by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The hazards range from overheating appliances and unstable furniture to toys containing batteries, magnets or water beads that can be deadly if swallowed.
“Hoosiers deserve safe, reliable products — not ones that put them at risk because of dangerous defects,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita.
“If an item you purchased in October is on the recall list, stop using it immediately and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to keep your household safe.”

Some recalls involve millions of items. Bodum USA recalled 5.9 million French press coffee makers with replaceable glass carafes because damaged or cracked glass can break during use, causing serious burns. Walmart’s recall covers more than 4.4 million Expert Grill brushes whose metal bristles can detach, reach food and cause internal injuries if swallowed.
Those figures also show why shoppers should look beyond recent purchases. The affected Bodum coffee makers were sold from 1974 through October 2026, while the recalled grill brushes were sold from January 2021 through August 2026.

Children’s products account for several warnings. Harkla children’s sensory swings have ceiling hooks that can separate from their plates, causing falls. BAMAMON LED projecting finger light toys and CIYTI light-up princess costumes have easily accessible button batteries, creating potentially fatal ingestion hazards.
GBYMIUY magnetic stick figure toy sets can release powerful magnets that may cause severe internal damage if swallowed.

In bedrooms, SOOWERY eight-drawer fabric dressers and Yinklev’s Jocoevol six-drawer dressers can tip over and trap children when they are not anchored to a wall. Longjili Trading’s Pamag Pieeoo mattresses fail federal flammability requirements, creating a fire hazard.
Nursery products carry separate dangers. PILLANI nursing pillows can obstruct an infant’s breathing. Costway convertible high chairs lack a required passive restraint system, allowing children to slip through the opening between the tray and seat. Papablic convertible bedside sleepers with play yard extensions can trap babies if mattresses shift; failed locking mechanisms can also cause collapse, entrapment or falls.
Three adult bed rail brands appear in the warning: Agrish portable bed rails, YunHeng’s LandTale bed rails and usOpal’s Xalirium portable bed rails. All pose entrapment and potentially fatal asphyxiation hazards. Agrish and Xalirium rails also have stability or retention strap problems that create fall risks, while Agrish rails have incorrectly sized push pins and holes that can cause cuts.
Lighting products include Designs Direct’s Cupcakes and Cashmere three-light floor lamps, whose cords or internal wiring can overheat, spark or ignite. Lithonia Lighting RSX luminaires with adjustable tilt arm mountings can fall if a mounting component fails.
Among appliances, DREO DR-HSH015 space heaters can overheat and ignite. NTI and HTP gas boilers manufactured by Ariston, formerly NTI Boilers, can allow unburned gas to accumulate after an internal component cracks. Ignition can force the front cover off, creating fire, carbon monoxide poisoning and impact hazards. Whatever Works microwave grills can also overheat and catch fire.
Other household items include HAIARA power banks sold by Mitrytech, whose lithium batteries can explode and ignite, and Loving Thyself Rocks crystal glass cups, which can break internally and cause ingestion injuries or cuts.
Personal-use products include Fashion Brand Apparel’s QZH.DUAO children’s pajama sets, which fail sleepwear safety standards and pose burn risks. Kobayashi rechargeable hand warmers can overheat and ignite. RootStim minoxidil hair regrowth treatment bottles lack child-resistant packaging, leaving young children at risk of poisoning.
Outdoor equipment rounds out the warning. VQQQ gas patio heaters can malfunction and release gas, causing fire and burn hazards. Golden Resale portable camping showers have immersion heaters that can ignite when partly or completely out of water.
Giant Bicycle’s LED-light keys included with certain SureLock bike lock sets have accessible button batteries that children could swallow. Gazelle USA’s Urban Arrow cargo electric bikes have a seat post clamping bolt that can break, loosening the seat and causing falls.
Residents who identify a potentially affected product should check its specific notice through the CPSC recall database and follow the instructions provided. Depending on the product, the remedy may involve a repair, return, refund, replacement or disposal. The notice explains which products are covered and what owners must do next.
