This product recall roundup covers nine recalls and safety warnings that ConsumerAffairs listed on October 23, 2026, from baby gear to ready-to-eat food. The three biggest ones come straight from agency pages: the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for high chairs, the FDA for gelato, and the USDA for packaged meats. The other six come from ConsumerAffairs’ roundup, so check the lot numbers on the agency page or with the company before you act.

Product recall roundup: children’s products

About 3,332 Costway convertible high chairs were recalled on October 22, according to the CPSC’s recall notice (number 27-040). The chairs lack a passive restraint, so a child can slip through the gap between the tray and the seat and be trapped or fall. The agency says no incidents were reported. They were sold nationwide from May 2023 through July 2026 for $84 to $100, through major retailers and Costway’s website. ConsumerAffairs lists Walmart and Target among them.

Stop using the chair and contact Costway at 844-242-1885 or [email protected]. You’ll need a receipt or a photo. Costway sends a prepaid return label and ships a free replacement once it gets the chair back.

ConsumerAffairs also lists about 94 CIYTI light-up princess costumes sold on Amazon in 2025. The crown, wand, and remote have accessible button batteries, which are an ingestion hazard. The CPSC separately warned about Kaizou squishy toys that contain water beads, which carry choking and intestinal-obstruction risks. In both cases the advice is to take the items away from children and throw them out.

Home and safety items

The CPSC also warned about PowRyte electric pressure washers, sold on Amazon and eBay for $92 to $320. They lack a ground-fault circuit interrupter on or near the plug, which creates a shock and electrocution risk. Unplug the unit, cut the cord, and dispose of it.

Reliancer adult portable bed rails, sold on Amazon for about $45, carry entrapment and asphyxiation risks. They can also be unstable and lack warning labels. Stop using them and don’t sell or give them away.

Food items in this product recall roundup

Lidl’s Gelatelli Coffee & Vanilla Gelato is the one most likely to be in a freezer right now. The FDA posted the company’s notice on October 17. A routine lab sample showed possible Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled pints carry lot 085261 and a best-by date of MAR/26/2028, and the UPC is 4 0564897 22458. They were sold in Delaware, Washington D.C., Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia between July 19 and October 15. No illnesses have been reported. Throw it out or return it to any Lidl store for a full refund, with no receipt needed. The hotline is (844) 747-5435.

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service says Kayem Foods is recalling about 1.58 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry, in a Class I recall announced October 17. The company kept products in a warehouse cooler that had temperature deviations, and a retail complaint about warm product on October 1 set off the investigation. The items were produced between about March 31 and October 7, and no illnesses are confirmed. Look for the establishment numbers EST. M/P 7839, EST. P 20935A, or EST. M 9520 inside the USDA mark. Don’t eat the products. Throw them away or return them, and call Kayem at 800-426-6100 with questions.

ConsumerAffairs also lists two smaller food recalls. Natural Grocers organic mung beans (2 lb, UPC 000080112600) may contain glass, and the Starfish Seafood cold smoked Norwegian salmon (8 oz, lot D080-148) may carry Listeria. We haven’t checked either against an agency notice, so confirm the lot on the company’s page first.

What to do with any recalled item

Stop using or eating it, find the lot or model number, and follow the remedy in the notice. Keep a photo of the product and your receipt. If you ate a recalled food and feel ill, contact a doctor. Scammers sometimes copy recall emails and texts to steal payment details, so go to the agency site directly. Our guides on how to spot a scam text and what to do if you were scammed cover the basics.

Editor’s take

The dull habit is the useful one: check the lot number, not just the product name. In this product recall roundup, the online-marketplace items have the thinnest details, so owners may never see a notice. If you shop on Amazon or eBay, search the CPSC site now and then for things you own, especially anything used by children or older adults.
