TIMOTHY CLARY | AFP via Getty Images Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Pocket Four product recalls announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Oct. 8 share one thing: each could seriously hurt a young child in a way parents may not expect, from drowning and furniture tip-overs to swallowed batteries and magnets.

The recalls cover baby bath seats and six-drawer dressers sold on Amazon, LED light keys included with Giant SureLock bike locks, and a finisher medal from a virtual fitness challenge. Each product violates a mandatory federal safety standard. No injuries were reported for the bath seats, dressers, or LED keys, and the medal maker has received three reports of magnets coming loose.

Together, the products total about 18,300 units in the U.S. Many were sold online in the past year, so they may already be in a nursery, bedroom, or garage.

For three of the four products, getting a refund means destroying the item, photographing it, and sending the photo to the company. Acting quickly removes the hazard before a child is hurt.

ONTHEWEI is recalling about 2,140 baby bath seats sold on Amazon in April 2026 for $40 to $50. The seats came in gray, pink, blue, and mist green, with detachable restraint arms and suction cups underneath. The back label reads Model No: MY002.

According to the CPSC notice on the bath seats, the seats are unstable and can tip over while in use, creating a drowning risk. They violate the federal standard for infant bath seats.

Owners should stop using the seat immediately. To get a full refund, they must write RECALLED on the front in permanent marker, remove the backrest and arm restraints, cut the three suction cups, email a photo to onthewei@outlook.com, and throw the seat away. The company did not list a phone number.

A bath seat is not a safety device. Even with a seat that meets the standard, a caregiver should stay within arm’s reach of a baby in water at all times. Parents who need to step away should take the baby out of the tub first.

Romorgniz is recalling about 12,078 white and black wooden six-drawer dressers sold on Amazon from May 2025 through August 2026 for about $100 to $170. The dressers measure about 43 inches tall and weigh about 73 pounds.

The CPSC notice on the dressers says they are unstable if not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards. They do not meet the mandatory stability standard for clothing storage units under the STURDY Act.

Owners should stop using an unanchored dresser and keep children away from it. For a refund, they should write RECALLED on the top, front, and sides, remove all drawers, disassemble the dresser, email photos to Romorgnizrecall@outlook.com, and dispose of it. The company lists an email address and a recall web page but no phone number.

Tip-overs remain a common household hazard. Emergency departments treated an average of 17,800 tip-over injuries a year from 2020 to 2022, and 44% of the victims were under 18, according to the CPSC’s tip-over safety warning.

Giant Bicycle is recalling about 3,630 LED light keys that came with SureLock lock sets made after March 2023, plus about 1,395 sold in Canada. They were sold at authorized Giant stores and on giant-bicycles.com from March 2023 through August 2026 for $25 to $65.

The CPSC notice on the LED keys says children can easily reach the button batteries inside. Owners should stop using the LED key and return it to an authorized Giant retailer, with the lock or a photo of its serial number, for a $5 refund. The lock and regular keys can still be used. Giant can be reached at 866-458-2555. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled according to local hazardous waste procedures.

Button batteries are especially dangerous. They “can burn through a child’s throat or esophagus in as little as two hours,” the CPSC has warned about swallowed batteries.

The Conqueror is recalling about 476 Marvel Avengers Infinity Gauntlet medals awarded for a virtual fitness challenge and sold for about $50 from March to May 2026. According to the CPSC notice on the medals, high-powered magnets in the medal can come loose. Swallowed magnets can attract each other inside the body and cause serious intestinal injuries. For a refund or replacement, owners should cut the ribbon, write RECALLED on the medal and ribbon, email a photo to support@theconqueror.events and throw the medal away. The company can also be reached at 833-799-0368.

Parents can start by checking Amazon order histories for the bath seat and dresser, and looking for a Giant SureLock set or an Infinity Gauntlet medal in garages, gym bags, and bedrooms. Small batteries and magnets should be stored well out of children’s reach, even from products that are not recalled.

A child who may have swallowed a button battery or magnet needs emergency care right away, even if the child seems fine. Warning signs can include drooling, vomiting, chest pain, trouble swallowing, belly pain, or refusing to eat. Parents can also call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance on the way to care.

Anchoring kits for dressers and televisions are inexpensive, and dressers in a child’s room are safer when attached to a wall stud. Parents can report unsafe products or injuries to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov. MedicalDaily will continue to track new child-safety recalls as they are announced.

ONTHEWEI baby bath seats, Romorgniz six-drawer dressers, Giant Bicycle LED light keys for SureLock locks and The Conqueror’s Avengers Infinity Gauntlet medals.

No injuries were reported for the bath seats, dressers or LED keys. The Conqueror received three reports of magnets detaching from medals.

How do I know if my bath seat is recalled?

Check the back label for Model No: MY002. The recalled seats were sold on Amazon in April 2026 in gray, pink, blue and mist green.

How much is the refund for the Giant LED key?

Owners can get a $5 refund by returning the LED key to an authorized Giant retailer with the lock or a photo of its serial number.

What should I do with the recalled dresser?

Stop using it if it is not anchored, keep children away, and follow the company’s steps to mark, photograph and dispose of it for a full refund.

What are signs a child swallowed a battery or magnet?

Drooling, vomiting, chest or belly pain, trouble swallowing or refusing to eat. Seek emergency care immediately.
