Consumers will be asked to register at www.flauntcases.com/pages/recall and submit two photographs.
One photo should show the front of the power bank with the word “Recalled”, the consumers initials, and the registration date written on it in permanent marker.
The second photo should show the model number E33A located on the back of the power bank.
Consumers will receive an email with instructions on disposing the charger in accordance with local and state regulations.
Note:

Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire.
Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal.
Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.

The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for infant sleep products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury.
Consumers should stop using the recalled baby loungers immediately and contact Vevor for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to remove the foam and pad from the baby lounger’s cover and cut the cover, foam and pad in half. Consumers will email photos of the destroyed pieces to recalling@vevor.com to receive a full refund.
