There has been a slew of other products recalled this month.
ShutterstockThe CPSC has issued several other recall announcements this month, including one for GE refrigerator models sold at Lowe's and Home Depot. According to the CPSC, the freezer handle on six models can detach from the appliance, creating a fall hazard when trying to open the freezer drawer. Later in April, a separate recall was issued for 635,000 Insignia-brand air fryers sold at Best Buy. These appliances were recalled after the retailer received 68 reports in the U.S. (and 36 in Canada) of the air fryers catching fire, burning, or melting. Now, the CPSC has announced a recall for another product, which poses a different risk to consumers.

Bed Bath & BeyondIf you were shopping in Bed Bath & Beyond before celebrating the Easter holiday, you may have purchased some items for the festivities. Hunting for Easter baskets is a cherished tradition, but if you bought this particular basket to hide or collect Easter eggs, the CPSC has a warning for you. On April 28, it was announced that Bed Bath & Beyond recalled approximately 960 H for Happy-brand Woven Bunny Baskets, which were sold exclusively at the retailer in March 2022.
While the baskets have a friendly face, the bunny eyes can detach, creating a choking hazard for children, the CPSC said.
The baskets listed a warning on the tag.

While no injuries have been reported to date, the agency still recommends taking any baskets away from children.
If you bought this basket, officials advise getting rid of it.

If you have specific concerns, you can reach Bed Bath & Beyond directly at 800-462-3966, seven days a week, between 7 a.m. and 12 a.m. EST. The CPSC also advises visiting the retailer's recall page, which lists an email address, productrecalls@bedbath.com, and links to additional recall information. Prior to this publication, the recalled baskets had not yet been listed.
"Please keep in mind that while we intend to keep this information up-to-date, it is not designed to be an authoritative list of all recalled products," the Bed Bath & Beyond recall page says, pointing consumers to websites for the CPSC, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
