Overview

  • On July 6, Costco expanded its recall list to cover all affected models and lot codes across nearly a dozen product categories in collaboration with manufacturers and federal regulators.
  • Consumers are instructed to immediately stop using recalled items—from Anker power banks and U-shaped window air conditioners to BowFlex dumbbells and Ninja Foodi cookers—and return them for free remedies.
  • The recalls cite diverse hazards including mold growth in Danby and Midea air conditioners, overheating fire risks in Anker power banks and tread failures in Bridgestone and Michelin tires.
  • Additional recalled items include Igloo coolers with fingertip crush risks, Topo Chico water contaminated with pseudomonas and Fresh & Ready Foods sandwiches and salads linked to Listeria.
  • All recall actions are overseen by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission under federal safety standards and supported by FDA and USDA guidelines, with recall remedies superseding Costco’s normal return windows.
