The most significant recall involves 481,000 Anker power banks, linked to potential overheating that can lead to fires and burns. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission confirmed last week that Anker Innovations received 33 reports of fire incidents, including four minor burn injuries. The affected models include numbers A1647, A1652, A1257, A1681, and A1689. These power banks were sold between August 2023 and June 2025, priced between $30 and $50. Customers are urged to visit Anker’s online recall page for a refund or contact the company at 800-988-7973.
In addition, Gooder Foods has recalled two variants of its pasta products—Vegan Is Believin’ and Here Comes Truffle—both due to undeclared allergens that may include milk and cashew. This recall, announced on September 11, 2023, poses a serious risk for individuals with allergies. The company reported six allergic reactions linked to the Here Comes Truffle product. Consumers are advised to return these items for a full refund.
Lastly, One Frozen recalled over 57,000 bags of its Good & Gather Southwest-Style Burrito Bowl Blend due to undeclared shrimp, a significant allergen. This recall was confirmed on September 10, 2023, with no illnesses reported at this time. The affected product may lead to severe allergic reactions for those sensitive to shellfish.
