Here is a list of September 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.

• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that Dynarex Corporation is recalling 62 cases of Dynacare Baby Powder because it has the potential to be contaminated with asbestos. The product was sent to 12 states - including Pennsylvania - in March.

• Glow in Dark Supplies Toy Sets, sold by OleOleToy on Amazon, have been recalled because they violate the mandatory federal battery-operated toy regulation. The Bunny Ears Headbands found in the sets contain button cell batteries that can be easily accessed without requiring the use of a household tool. When the batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries, posing an ingestion hazard to children.

• Fisher-Price recalled its dumbbell toy in Baby Biceps Gift Sets. The gray caps on the end of the dumbbell toy can come off, posing a choking hazard to infants. 

• Red Toolbox recalled its Stanley-Branded Jr. Kids Garden Sets, which were found in violation of a federal ban for lead in paint. The painted long hoe and rake of the set contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban, posing a poisoning hazard to children.

• Wee Gallery recalled its Baby Tummy Time Gallery, which violated the federal phthalates ban. The gallery’s art card pockets have clear plastic coverings that contain levels of a phthalate that exceeds the federal ban. Phthalates are toxic if ingested by children and can cause adverse health effects.

• Children’s Jewelry Sets, sold on Amazon by Newmemo, were recalled due to the risk of lead and cadmium poisoning. The sets were found to violate the federal lead content ban and Federal Hazardous Substances Act.
