Mondelez Global LLC recalled four carton sizes of Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker sandwiches due to labeling errors. The affected cartons include individually wrapped packs that may be incorrectly labeled as cheese variety, even though the product may be a peanut butter variety. People with allergies or severe sensitivity to peanuts may be at risk of serious allergic reactions by consuming this product.
SNLN recalled party supply toys that pose a risk of ingestion hazard. The supply toys violate the mandatory standard for toys containing button cell batteries because the compartment that holds the batteries can be easily accessed and opened by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, or death.

Creekliybear recalled its play yard mattresses due to risk of serious injury or death from entrapment. The aftermarket play yard mattresses violate the mandatory standard for crib mattresses as they exceed thickness requirements and may not adequately fit certain play yards, posing a threat of entrapment. Babies can suffocate in gaps between an undersized mattress, or extra padding, and side walls of a product, especially when the infant’s face becomes trapped against the side and the mattress, preventing the child from breathing.

Additionally, the black paint on the bicycle pumps contains lead that exceeds the federal lead paint ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children.

LED Gloves were recalled due to risk of serious injury or death from battery ingestion. The gloves violate mandatory standards for toys containing coin batteries because the compartment that holds the batteries can be easily accessed and opened by children. The spare coin batteries provided with the toys are not in child-resistant packaging and do not have warnings required by law. A child can suffer serious injuries, internal chemical burns, or death if they swallow the batteries.
