The recalls, announced throughout February by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and several companies, affect items sold both in Walmart stores and on the retailer’s website. According to the announcements, the products pose risks that include foodborne illness, fire hazards, and potential injury to children.
Food Safety and Appliance Hazards Top List of Concerns
Among the most widely distributed recalled items is a Great Value cottage cheese product, voluntarily recalled by Saputo Cheese USA after routine testing revealed concerns about pasteurization. According to the company’s recall statement, the issue was identified during testing conducted in cooperation with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, with officials determining that some liquid dairy ingredients may not have been fully pasteurized.Â
The company warned that this could pose a significant health risk, particularly to young children, elderly individuals, or those with compromised immune systems. The affected cottage cheese was distributed to Walmart locations and distribution centers between February 17 and February 20 across 24 states, including California, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia.
In a separate safety alert, Dupray USA has recalled more than 650,000 Neat Steam Cleaners sold at Walmart and other major retailers between April 2018 and December 2025. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall notice, the appliance’s boiler can rupture if overfilled or corroded, potentially causing burns or serious injuries.
The commission reported that at least 15 incidents have been documented, including four cases involving burns, bruises, and other injuries. Consumers who purchased these units have been advised to request a free replacement safety boiler cap from the manufacturer.
Child Safety Recalls Target Baby Monitors, Helmets, and Toys
Parents who purchased baby monitors through Walmart‘s online platform are being urged to take immediate action, as approximately 81,800 Babysense Max View monitors have been recalled due to fire concerns. According to the recall notice published by the CPSC, the display units, which are equipped with lithium-ion batteries, have been found to overheat or spark while charging. The manufacturer, Hisense, has received multiple complaints about this issue, though no injuries have been reported to date.
Bicycle safety equipment is also under scrutiny, with Todson withdrawing approximately 40,245 Concord 360-degree rechargeable light-up helmets sold at Walmart stores and online. The CPSC announced that testing revealed the helmets failed to meet mandatory federal safety standards, specifically regarding retention and stability requirements. Officials warned that this defect means the helmets may not properly protect riders during a crash, potentially leading to serious head injuries or even death.
Perhaps most concerning for families with young children is the recall of Grtard magnetic stick figure toy sets, sold exclusively through Walmart.com. According to the CPSC’s recall notice, these toys contain small, high-powered magnets that can detach and be swallowed by children.Â
Medical experts warn that when multiple magnets are ingested, they can attract each other inside the body, causing intestinal perforations, blockages, blood poisoning, and potentially death. While no injuries have been reported in connection with these specific toys, officials have advised parents to remove them from children immediately and contact the seller for a refund.
