Affected models include Adjustable Fortress 2.0, Conquest 2.0, Dark Horse 2.0, Epic, King Kombo XT, Leveler, MegaLite, MegaLite+, Multi, Quantum, and Vector.

Ladders with an orange rectangular “QC” sticker above a Rapid Lock are not included.

A door that swings shut unexpectedly can turn a routine cooking task into a burn risk. The recall covers about 176,000 stainless-steel Gourmia 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Ovens, model GTF7530, UPC 810002862779. The two spring-loaded glass doors can close when bumped while someone is taking out hot food.

Parents who use a countertop sterilizer dryer should check its model label before using it again. The recall covers SuperFast units BRZ0083, BRZ0154, and BRZ0156, with about 29,000 sold in the United States. The units sterilize and dry baby bottles and breast-pump parts, but they can overheat while plugged in and operating. The company received 32 reports of overheating or melting plastic housing; no injuries were reported. Owners should stop using the dryer and contact Baby Brezza for a free replacement, including shipping. The recall process asks customers to register, unplug the unit, cut its power cord, and upload photos of the model label and destroyed appliance.

The X-VESOLJE recall concerns C-shaped nursing pillows that may look familiar but have no brand or model markings on the product itself. The recalled NP001 pillows came in three patterns: white with leaves, dark brown with multicolored feathers, and multicolored puzzle pieces. They were sold on Amazon from April 2025 through June 2026. The pillows can obstruct an infant’s breathing and violate mandatory safety standards for nursing pillows. No incidents or injuries had been reported. Anyone who believes they have one should stop using it and contact Kikea Store to confirm the product and request a full refund. The company asks consumers to cut the pillow in half only after confirming it with the firm, then send a photo and dispose of it.

Parents and caregivers should check Arlopu playsets for model numbers KT-CS17 and LY-31. The plastic sets, designed for indoor or outdoor use, include a slide and basketball hoop and were sold online in several colors. Openings in the sets can trap a child because a child’s torso may fit through where their head cannot. On model KT-CS17, the basketball net can also come loose and form a loop large enough for a child’s head. The company received one report of an entrapment incident that caused abrasions on a child’s neck. Stop using the playset and store it away from children. Arlopu is offering a free repair kit with redesigned panels, hoops, and instructions.
