Costco recall alert: If you’ve shopped at Costco in recent years, you’ll want to check your recent purchases. Several products are now under a Costco recall, with urgent warnings for customers to stop using them immediately due to potential safety hazards.
Danby Air Conditioners Could Pose Mold Risk
As part of the ongoing Costco recall, customers who purchased Danby U-shaped window air conditioners between June 2021 and February 2022 are being urged to stop using the units immediately. The issue stems from excess water buildup inside the air conditioners, which can lead to mold growth—posing potential respiratory health risks and infections.
This Costco recall, issued by Midea America Corp., affects models with the number DAC080B6IWDB-6.
What you should do:
Affected customers can either return the air conditioner to any Costco warehouse for a full refund, or request a free repair kit, depending on the specific model.
BowFlex Dumbbells May Be Unsafe
If you own the BowFlex 552 adjustable dumbbells, you’ll want to stop using them now. The issue? The weight plates can come loose and fall off during use—posing a serious injury risk.
Johnson Health Tech Trading, the supplier, has voluntarily recalled the product following multiple reports of malfunction.
What to do:
Bring them back to Costco for a full refund—no questions asked.
Anker Power Banks Also Recalled
Anker has recalled its Model A1257 power banks (10,000mAh, 22.5W) due to concerns over lithium-ion battery safety. While the risk is considered low, the company is offering replacements to be on the safe side.
What to do:
Submit your proof of purchase to Anker to get a free replacement.
Michelin Tires Don’t Meet Safety Standards
Certain Michelin Agilis CrossClimate C-Metric tires in the 185/60R15C size are being recalled after failing to meet federal safety standards.
The issue lies in the tread, which may break off from the tire’s shoulder, raising the risk of a crash.
What to do:
Head to your nearest Michelin retailer. They’ll remove and replace the affected tires free of charge.
Bottom Line: Check Your Products
If any of these products sound familiar, take action now. Whether it’s an air conditioner, dumbbells, a power bank, or tires—these recalls are about keeping you and your family safe.
Check your receipts, product labels, or Costco purchase history, and contact the appropriate company or return items to your local warehouse to resolve the issue.
