Costco customers are being urged to inspect recent purchases after the retailer issued multiple product recalls spanning a range of household and personal items over significant safety hazards. The recall affects purchases made both in-store and through the retailer’s direct-from-manufacturer program, Costco Next.
According to safety notices, these units may retain water that doesn’t drain quickly enough, potentially creating a breeding ground for mold. Mold exposure may pose health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions. Costco has asked owners of these units to stop using immediately and has offered free repair kits or refunds.
Customers are instructed to stop using the devices and contact Anker for a replacement or refund, provided they submit photos of the unit and its serial number marked as “recalled.”
