Yaomiao Children’s Jewelry Sets

Euqee Wintergreen Essential Oils

Euqee recalled its Wintergreen Essential Oils due to a risk of poisoning. The essential oil contains methyl salicylate, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA). The packaging for the products is not child-resistant.

Ford F-Series Trucks

Ford Motor is recalling 295,449 diesel-engine F-Series trucks because a defective fuel pump could cause a loss of power, raising the risk of a crash. Biodiesel deposits may form on the pump drivetrain roller components, which could lead to failure of the high-pressure fuel pump. The recall includes 2020–2022 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 vehicles, as well as 2021–2022 Ford F-650 and F-750 vehicles.

Kia EV9 Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Kia issued a recall for 22,883 of its model year 2024–2025 Kia EV9 hybrid electric vehicles over concerns the vehicles’ second- or third-row seats were missing bolts. Seats with missing seat mounting bolts may not properly restrain an occupant during certain collisions, increasing the risk of injury.
