Amazon Recalls 500,000 Products Over Safety Hazards: Fans, Baby Loungers & More
Amazon has yanked nearly half a million products from its marketplace in recent weeks following urgent safety recalls, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recalled items — ranging from portable fans that can ignite to infant loungers that pose suffocation risks — highlight growing concerns about unsafe imports flooding online shelves.
