A series of consumer product recalls have been issued this month that may have been purchased for Halloween weekend, including a Halloween candle, children’s LED skirts, glow bracelets, a child stroller wagon, and candy bars.

Halloween Skeleton Candle Recalled for Fire Hazard

On Oct. 30, The Kroger Co. recalled about 3,680 Halloween-themed Skeleton Wax Candles after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) determined that flammable ornaments attached to the candles present fire and burn hazards.

The white candle, featuring skeleton and pumpkin ornaments in a black plastic bowl, retailed for about $7 at Kroger stores nationwide—including Fred Meyer, Fry’s, Smith’s, Dillons, and King Soopers—between September and October. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers are advised to immediately discontinue use of the candle and return it to any Kroger store for a full refund. Manufactured in China and imported by Carole Accessories Inc. of Los Angeles, the product features a warning label with a misspelling: “WANING: PLASTIC CONTAINER AND ONAMENTS ARE FLAMMABLE.”

H-E-B Glow Bracelets Recalled for Skin Irritation Hazard

On Oct. 30, Texas-based grocery chain H-E-B recalled approximately 6,600 packs of its “Destination Holiday Glow Light Stick Bracelets” following reports that the green bracelet in the 12-pack may leak and cause skin irritation, according to the CPSC.

The $1 bracelets were sold at H-E-B stores throughout Texas from September to October. Although one leak has been reported, no injuries have been reported. Consumers are urged to stop using the green bracelet and return the entire package to receive a refund. The product was manufactured in China.

Utility Wagon Recalled for Child Entrapment Hazard

On Oct. 23, Olympia Tools International recalled approximately 530 Pack-N-Stroll Premium Folding Utility Wagons after the CPSC determined they violate mandatory stroller safety standards. An opening between the tray and the sidewall could entrap a child’s head, presenting a risk of serious injury or death. Additionally, the absence of a restraint system increases the risk of falls.

No injuries have been reported. The wagons were sold online at Costco.com and CohoOutdoors.com between June and July for $200 to $400 and were manufactured in China. Consumers are urged to stop using the wagons immediately and return them for a full refund.

LED Tutu Skirts Recalled for Battery Ingestion Hazard

Earlier this month, Bmrwtg recalled approximately 740 children’s LED Tutu Skirts sold on Amazon between March and August. The skirts contain easily accessible lithium coin batteries, which violate Reese’s Law and pose a serious risk if swallowed by children. According to the CPSC, ingested batteries can cause internal burns and may be fatal. The skirts were also made in China.

The recalled skirts, sold in multiple colors and marketed for children aged 2 to 8, should no longer be used. Consumers are instructed to immediately stop using the skirts, carefully remove and dispose of the batteries, cut the garment, and email a photo of the destroyed skirt to [email protected] to receive a refund.

Candy Bars Recalled for Undeclared Allergen Risk

Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory also recalled 234 candy bars from two lots due to undeclared allergens, the FDA announced Oct. 27. The recall covers 156 Peanut Butter Crush bars, which may contain cashews, and 78 Ca$hew Cow bars, which may contain peanuts—both sold through specialty retailers in Michigan and New York.

The issue was caused by a temporary production and packaging error. Undeclared allergens can trigger severe or life-threatening reactions in those with food allergies.
