Costco Recalls Nearly a Dozen Products Over Mold, Fire and Contamination Hazards

Costco is urging immediate discontinuation of affected items, facilitating refunds for both warehouse and online purchases.

Overview

  • Costco and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have jointly recalled nearly a dozen items since early June, spanning home appliances, electronics, tires, fitness gear and food products.
  • Consumers must stop using items including Danby and Midea U-shaped window air conditioners that can harbor mold, Anker power banks prone to overheating, and select Topo Chico water packs and Fresh & Ready sandwiches linked to bacterial contamination.
  • Bridgestone Blizzak 6 and Michelin Agilis CrossClimate tires were withdrawn for missing required DOT markings and risk of tread rubber detachment under federal standards.
  • Manufacturers such as Anker, Danby, Ninja and Igloo are offering free repair kits or replacement parts to address identified safety defects.
  • Return processes for recalled goods bypass standard time limits, ensuring members receive refunds or replacements regardless of original purchase dates.
