Recalls and Class-Actions for June 25th

The Latest Product Recalls and Class-Actions

Hello, savvy shoppers and cautious consumers! 🌟 It's time to dive into this week's recalls and class-action settlements. Grab your coffee (but maybe not in a JoyJolt Declan Glass Coffee Mug β˜•, unless you fancy a burn or laceration hazard!). From fiery portable chargers πŸ”‹ to misbehaving blending containers 🍹, we've got the latest updates to keep you safe and informed.

Highlights this week:

- POWER HUB All-In-One Portable Chargers πŸ”‹ by myCharge have been recalled due to fire and burn hazards. Yikes!

- Ascent and Venturist Series Blending Containers and Blade Bases πŸΉ by Vitamix might give you more than a smoothie with their laceration hazard.

- On the legal front, Bath & Body Works and Victoria’s Secret πŸ›οΈ are in hot water for printing too much of your card number on receipts. Cash in on their $15 million settlement!

And don't miss out on the Eco-Products, Inc. πŸŒ± settlement for misleading compostable product labels or the TaxAct πŸ§Ύ settlement for privacy violations. Stay vigilant, stay safe, and stay compensated! 🌟

Enjoy the rest of your week, and remember, knowledge is power (especially when it comes to avoiding hazardous products and claiming your rightful settlements)! πŸš€
