Recalls and Class-Actions for September 25th
The Latest Product Recalls and Class-Actions
Welcome to your weekly dose of “what to avoid” and “who owes you money”! This week’s recalls are full of surprises—because nothing says "playtime" like a fort kit that doubles as a snack for your batteries, thanks to Intellio Toys’ Bright Builder Fort Kits 🏗️. And if you're feeling adventurous, Polaris is here to remind you that their Sportsman All-Terrain Vehicles 🏍️ might come with an unexpected side of fire 🔥. Need a good night’s sleep? Just don’t fall out of your LUCID Platform Bed 🛏️—literally.
In the world of class actions, the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play 🍼 brings a hefty $8.1 million settlement for those impacted by its less-than-cozy design. Meanwhile, Breyers Ice Cream 🍦 might owe you a scoop of justice for misleading vanilla lovers, and if you’ve been stocking up on tuna 🐟, you could cash in on a $6.5 million settlement for price-fixing.
Stay safe, stay informed, and remember: always check your ice cream labels—and your all-terrain vehicle for flames!
