Serenethos/iStock(NEW YORK) — Black Friday may be a good time to replace some recently recalled items that could be in your home.
Nineteen products that were sold to hundreds of products were sold at various T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods stores have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The new warning to consumers was issued Tuesday after it was discovered that the stores, which are owned by TJX Companies, sold the 19 different products that had previously been recalled between 2014 and 2019, according to the CPSC.
From certain Fisher-Price sleeper accessories to kids’ rattles and kitchen utensils, the recall involved nearly 1,200 product units, according to the CPSC.
“Hazards include infant fatalities, fire, burn, choking, fall, laceration, skin irritation, explosion or other injuries depending on the product,” the regulatory agency said in the release.
“At TJX, product safety is very important to us. We deeply regret that in some instances, recalled products were not properly removed from our sales floors despite the recall processes that we had in place,” the company said in a statement to ABC News. “We are taking appropriate steps to strengthen these processes moving forward. We apologize to our customers and encourage anyone who believes they may have one of these products to participate in the recall.”
