Here is a list of October recalls collected from the following major federal agencies: the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Fisher-Price recalled more than two million Snug Infant Swings due to suffocation hazard. The recalls occurred after five deaths were reported. The swing should never be used for sleep and bedding materials should never be added to it. If the product is used for sleep or bedding is added, the headrest and body support insert on the seat pad can increase the risk of suffocation. 

Ricky Powersports recalled youth and adult all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) that fail to comply with the requirements of federal safety regulations. The ATVs’ mechanical suspension fails to comply with safety requirements, posing a crash hazard. Also, its service brakes fail to sufficiently stop the vehicle and the handlebars pose a laceration hazard.

Reyhee Group and Jinling International recalled Droyd Fury Youth All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) that fail to comply with the requirements of federal mandatory ATV regulations. The handlebars pose a laceration hazard if the child rider’s body or head strikes the handlebars at a high rate of speed.

Gimars Playpens have been recalled due to entrapment and suffocation hazards. The playpens are found to be in violation of federal regulations for play yards. The included basketball hoop accessory can be a head entrapment hazard. Children can also become entrapped beneath the mattress, posing a suffocation hazard.
