Walmart Shoppers Are Being Told to Check Their Homes for These 11 Recalled Products Right Now
If you shop at Walmart, there’s a good chance something in your home has been recalled in the past few months. Since August, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a long list of recalls for products sold in Walmart stores or on Walmart.com, from grill brushes and coffee makers to dressers, high chairs, and children’s candy. Some of these recalls involve millions of units.
Many people never hear about recalls until it’s too late. A product gets pushed to the back of a closet or the garage, and the warning slips by in a busy week. That’s why safety officials urge families to check their homes room by room, especially when there are young children or grandchildren around.
All of the recalls below were announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission between August and November 2026, and each lists Walmart or Walmart.com as a place where the product was sold. Here is what to look for, why each item was recalled, and what to do if you have one.
In the Garage and Backyard
1. Walmart Expert Grill Brushes
Walmart is recalling about 4.5 million Expert Grill metal wire bristle grill brushes, sold in Walmart stores and on Walmart.com from January 2021 through August 2026 for between $1 and $28. According to the CPSC, small metal bristles can come loose and stick to the grill or food, creating an ingestion hazard and a risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery.
Some brushes have black plastic handles and others have stainless steel handles, and some come with a metal scraper attached. The model number is on the packaging or a tag on the brush. If you have one, stop using it and contact Walmart for a full refund or store credit. You’ll be asked to return the brush or throw it away.
2. Cuisinart Grill Brushes
Conair expanded its recall of Cuisinart metal wire bristle grill brushes in late August, bringing the total to more than 3.6 million brushes. They were sold at Walmart, Burlington, TJ Maxx, Ross, and online from June 2009 through March 2026 for between $8 and $20. The CPSC says Conair knows of at least 54 reports of bristles coming loose, including three people who swallowed bristles and needed medical treatment.
The model numbers are printed on the packaging, and the full list is on the CPSC recall notice. Owners should stop using the brushes, throw them away, and contact Conair for a refund.
3. Char-Broil Bistro Pro Electric Grills
About 10,600 Char-Broil Bistro Pro electric grills were recalled in September because the grounding wire for the heating element can disconnect, posing an electric shock hazard. They were sold at Walmart, Lowe’s, Ace Hardware, Wayfair, QVC, and online from October 2025 through June 2026 for between $150 and $250. No injuries have been reported.
Char-Broil is offering a free repair kit, and owners can register at the company’s Bistro Pro fix website. The company is also offering a $25 digital gift card to customers who send a photo showing the repair has been completed.
4. Zimtown Portable Gas Cans
About 200 Zimtown metal “Jerry” style 5-gallon gas cans sold on Walmart.com were recalled in August because their closures are not child-resistant, as required by federal law. The CPSC says that poses a risk of burns and poisoning to children. The cans came in red and army green with a white spout and a yellow vent cap.
Owners should stop using them and contact the seller, Fastbuy, for a full refund. The recall notice explains how to cut up and dispose of the spout and how to send photos to receive the refund.
In the Kitchen
5. Bodum French Press Coffee Makers
Bodum USA announced in late October that it is recalling about 5.9 million French press coffee makers with replaceable glass carafes. They were sold at Walmart, Target, and coffee and home goods stores, and online, for decades, with the CPSC listing sales from 1974 through October 2026. Models include the popular Chambord, Brazil, Java, Kenya, and others in 8-cup and 12-cup sizes.
According to the CPSC, the glass carafe can break during use if it’s cracked or damaged, including damage from stirring with a metal spoon, which can cause serious burns. Bodum has received 70 reports of carafes breaking, including 48 reports of burns. Owners should stop stirring with metal spoons and contact Bodum for a free plastic stirring spoon and a warning label. Never use a carafe that is cracked or chipped.
6. Ricky Joy Sour Crush Candy Bottles
More than 2.3 million Ricky Joy Sour Crush rolling liquid candy bottles were recalled in September because the rolling ball on top can come off, posing a choking hazard. The candy was sold at H-E-B, Forman Mill, and candy stores, and online at Walmart.com and other websites from January 2023 through May 2026.
The bottles hold 1.85 ounces of sour liquid candy in flavors including blue raspberry, strawberry, and green apple. If you have any, take them away from children right away and contact the Ricky Joy Company for a refund and a prepaid return label.
In the Bedroom and Drawers
7. Mainstays Nine-Drawer Fabric Dressers
Walmart first recalled about 165,000 Mainstays nine-drawer fabric dressers in May 2026, then reannounced the recall in August after some recalled dressers were sold through liquidators. The dressers have a black metal frame and nine brown or black fabric drawers. They were sold at Walmart stores and on Walmart.com from September 2023 through March 2026 for about $80.
The CPSC says the dressers can tip over if they aren’t anchored to the wall, posing a risk of serious injury or death to children, and they don’t meet the federal STURDY Act standard. Stop using the dresser if it isn’t anchored, move it where children can’t reach it, and contact Walmart for a full refund. You’ll be asked to return the drawers to any Walmart store.
8. Aitjunz 8-Drawer Dressers
About 25,000 Aitjunz 8-drawer wooden dressers were recalled in September for the same kind of tip-over and entrapment hazard. They were sold online at Walmart, Amazon, Wayfair, and Temu from May 2025 through July 2026 for between $230 and $270. The CPSC received one report of a tip-over, with no injuries.
The dressers came in black, white, brown, oak, and cream. Owners should stop using them unless they’re anchored to the wall and contact the company for a free retrofit kit with counterweight blocks.
In the Nursery and Playroom
9. Costway Convertible High Chairs
About 3,300 Costway high chairs that convert into a table and chair set were recalled in October. The CPSC says they don’t have a passive restraint between the child’s legs, so a child can slip through the gap between the tray and seat and become trapped or fall. They were sold at Walmart and Target stores and on Costway.com from May 2023 through July 2026.
The chairs came in purple and white, red and white, blue and white, and brown and white. Parents should stop using them immediately and contact Costway for a free replacement high chair.
10. Taleco Gear Baby Jumpers and Swings
About 41,000 Taleco Gear baby jumpers, baby swings, and 2-in-1 jumper and swing combinations were recalled in August. They were sold on Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and the company’s website from April 2021 through July 2026. The CPSC says they can become unstable and that the straps and seat openings pose strangulation hazards. The company has received at least 52 reports, including 32 injuries such as head bumps and a bloody nose.
Stop using the products and contact Taleco Gear for a full refund. The company will explain how to destroy the product and send photos to receive the refund.
11. Arlopu Slide Playsets
About 10,300 Arlopu plastic slide playsets, models KT-CS17 and LY-31, were recalled in November. They were sold on Walmart.com and Amazon.com from April 2023 through August 2026 for between $90 and $130. The CPSC says the playsets have openings where a child’s body can fit through but the head cannot, posing an entrapment risk, and that the basketball net on one model can come loose and form a loop.
Arlopu has received one report of a child getting trapped, which caused scrapes on the child’s neck. Store the playset away from children and contact Arlopu for a free repair kit.
How to Check Your Home
Safety experts suggest walking through your home with a list and checking each room, including the garage, basement, and any storage areas. Look for model numbers on product labels and packaging, and compare them with the details in each recall notice. Many people keep old products far longer than they realize.
You can also sign up for recall alerts from the CPSC, and check the FDA’s recall list for food and medicine recalls. Grandparents should pay special attention to baby gear and furniture in rooms where grandkids sleep or play. Some recalled items can also turn up in garage sales, so check before buying used.
Why Recalls Matter
Recalls are issued when a product is found to pose a safety risk, and many are announced before anyone is seriously hurt. Acting quickly can prevent injuries, especially to young children. Tip-over hazards from dressers, choking hazards from small parts, and burns from broken glass are among the most common dangers.
Many families also store products they rarely use, like grill brushes in winter, so it’s a good time to check now. Recalls of foods and household products are also covered regularly, such as this recent hot dog recall.
Have you found any of these recalled products in your home, and did you get a refund or repair? Many readers say they had no idea their French press was part of a recall.
