If you’ve been shopping on Amazon lately, especially for some popular items, you might want to double-check your purchases! Over the last few weeks, there have been some popular items here in Texas that have been purchased on Amazon and some of the items have been recalled for various reasons. We've got everything you need to know about these popular items that have been recalled.

Online order recalls can cover a wide range of issues, from small problems to big safety risks. Sometimes, a product might be recalled because it doesn’t work the way it should, like a kitchen gadget that breaks easily. Other times, recalls happen for more serious reasons, like if a toy has small parts that could be a choking hazard for kids. Recalls can even include things like food that might be contaminated.

With the holidays coming up, many people in the U.S. are getting ready to shop online for gifts and deals. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are also on the way. Many stores now start their sales early, so people can shop from home and find good prices before the actual day arrives. This is helpful because it allows people to avoid long lines and crowds.

Shopping online can be very convenient, but it’s important to be careful, too. During the holiday season, there are often more online scams. Fake websites and emails can trick people into giving out personal information or paying for items that don’t exist. To stay safe, experts suggest only shopping from well-known websites, checking for secure payment options, and avoiding deals that seem “too good to be true.”

The Verge recently reported that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found Amazon hasn’t done a good job of letting customers know when products they bought on the site were recalled. The report says Amazon sold items from third-party sellers that had safety issues, like faulty carbon monoxide detectors, hair dryers that could shock users, and children’s pajamas that didn’t meet fire safety standards.
