Baby food pouches
Sprout Organics initiated a recall of one lot of Sprout Organics Sweet Potato Apple and Spinach because it may contain elevated levels of lead, according to a recall notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Exposure to lead, even at low levels, may increase blood lead levels. Signs and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely with acute exposure to higher levels of lead or chornic exposure to lead.
The effects depend on the amount and duration of exposure and age/body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time, it can affect learning and development, or cause other long-term health problems, according to the FDA.
The 3.5-ounce pouches were sold in Walgreens and some independent stores in the southern region of the United States. The product was not sold in any other large grocery chain besides Walgreens, according to the recall notice.
Most sales of these products were from September through December 2024.
The affected lot code was 4212 with an expiration date of Oct. 29, 2025.
According to the recall notice, no illnesses have been reported to date and no other Sprout Organics products are impacted by this recall.
If customers have these products, they should return it to their local store for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at 510-833-6089 or by email at Info@sproutorganics.com.
Mini fridge
The U.S. Consumer and Product Safety Commission announced a recall of more than 110,000 Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridges. The electrical switch of these recalled fridges can short circuit — causing it to overheat and posing a fire and burn hazard, according to the CPSC.
The fridges were sold at Walmart and Ross stores and online at Walmart.com and Amazon.com and other e-commerce sites from November 2022 through July 2025.
There have been 27 reports of the mini fridge overheating and catching on fire.
No injuries have been reported. According to CPSC, there have been reports of property damage, including damage to the unit and surrounding surfaces.
The items were sold in a 4-liter model in pink, white, aqua, and hot pink, and in a 10-liter model in pink and white. Only units manufactured prior to August 2024 are included in the recall, including the following model numbers:
PH11887
PH11887-1
PZB02-E001
PH12540
PZP01-E001
PZW01-E001
The 4-liter model sold for approximately $30, and the 10-liter model sold for approximately $60.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled mini fridge, unplug the unit, and register for the recall at www.epoca.com/minifridgerecall.
To receive a refund, consumers will have to fill out the online form and submit three photographs; one should be the refrigerator’s door with the word “RECALL” written on it using a permanent marker, the second photograph should be of the label on the unit showing the model number and serial number and the last photograph should be of the cut, unplugged cord.
Consumers should discard the recalled fridge according to local and state regulations, CPSC stated.
Hyundai Palisade SUVs
Hyundai has issued a safety recall for one of its most popular SUV models sold in recent years because of issues with the seatbelts not being fully secure.
Around 568,580 vehicles are currently affected by the recall, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Documents filed with the highway safety agency stated that the seatbelt buckles for the driver’s seat, front passenger seat, and second-row window seats might not latch properly.
These seatbelts could fail to restrain a vehicle’s occupants in the event of a crash, according to the recall documents.
The recall affects Hyundai Palisade SUVs from model years 2020 through 2025.
The company warned that Palisade owners should insert the seatbelt into the buckle in a quick motion and pull on the belt to make sure it is secured until they can bring their vehicle to a dealership.
There, dealers will inspect the seatbelt buckles and replace them as needed, free of charge.
Hyundai Palisade owners can contact the company’s customer service line at (855) 371-9460 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s safety hotline at (888) 327-4236 to see if they are covered by the recall.
Hyundai will begin contacting vehicle owners by mail on Nov. 10.
Toyota, Lexus vehicles
Toyota has initiated a voluntary safety recall for more than 591,000 popular Toyota and Lexus models, the company announced earlier this month.
The recall impacts several Toyota models, including the Venza, Crown, Crown Signia, RAV4, GR Corolla, 4Runner, Camry, Grand Highlander and Tacoma Highlander, as well as three Lexus Models, the LS, RX and TX.
The company said the 12.3-inch display of the instrument panel may be blank at startup and that operating the vehicle with the blank panel reduces the ability to see certain malfunction indicators.
If malfunctions occur while driving and the operator is unaware of them due to the blank panel it could lead to an increased risk of a crash or an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash, according to Toyota.
The company did not announce which model year vehicles are impacted, but said that drivers will be notified by mid-November.
Drivers can check if their vehicles are impacted by visiting Toyota.com/recall or nhtsa.gov/recalls and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.
For impacted vehicles, Toyota and Lexus dealerships will inspect and update the programming of the combination meter or replace the combination meter with an improved one, the company said.
Toyota customer support is available by calling the Toyota Brand Engagement Center (1-800-331-4331).
