Summary
CPSC recall database updated with two new product recalls (Best Buy gas range knobs; Greenworks lithium-ion batteries). No new regulatory requirements or enforcement mechanisms introduced.
Why it matters
This is a content update to a government recall registry. The new recalls document existing product safety hazards and remediation paths already defined by manufacturers. No new seller, creator, or affiliate compliance obligations are imposed by this change.
Recommended action
Monitor if any of these recalled products appear in your inventory or affiliate partnerships. If so, verify product status and removal timeline with suppliers. This is informational tracking, not a mandate.
About 554,780 The recalled infant walkers violate the mandatory standard for infant walkers because they can fit through a standard doorway and fail to stop at the edge of a step, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to a fall hazard.

The firm will send the knob covers to the consumers after they confirm that their gas range is involved in the recall.
Consumers are cautioned to keep children and pets away from the knobs, to check the range knobs to ensure they are off before leaving home or going to bed, and not to leave objects on the range when the range is not in use.
About 3,820 (in addition, about 700 were sold in Canada) Charging the lithium-ion batteries through the USB-C port while the batteries are inserted in the yard power tools can cause the batteries to short-circuit, posing a risk of serious injury from fire hazard.
Consumers should stop charging the batteries with the USB-C port while the batteries are inserted in the yard power tools immediately and contact Greenworks Tools to receive a free replacement battery.
Consumers will be asked to complete the registration form at https://www.greenworkstools.com/pages/kobalt-product-recall to receive replacement batteries without the USB-C port, a charger adapter, a warning label to affix on the yard power tool, an updated product manual and a pre-paid shipping label along with instructions for returning the recalled batteries.
