AG Labrador Warns Idaho Consumers About Hazardous Products Recalled in September

BOISE, ID – Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador released a list of 51 hazardous products subject to a federal recall from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for the month of September. These recalled products include mattresses, household appliances and furniture, and seventeen items specifically designed for infants and children. The September list ironically includes a Chinese-made fire extinguisher recalled for creating an explosion hazard and a risk of death or injury from burns. 

“The global marketplace gives consumers access to a variety of goods, but many foreign products aren’t made to U.S. safety standards,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Consumers need to be vigilant about product safety, especially when it comes to children. Our office works to protect Idaho consumers every day, and keeping families aware of these federal recalls is important.”

The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports the following products were recalled in September:
