If a space heater from Costco is humming in your bedroom or living room this winter, take a moment to check the label. More than 338,000 Dreo space heaters have been recalled over a fire risk.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall, which covers heaters sold in the U.S. and Canada. A roundup from 41NBC in Macon, Georgia, pulled together this month’s recalls, and four of them touch family life directly.
17 Reports Of Dreo Heaters Catching Fire, And Owners Are Told To Cut The Cord
The affected Dreo heaters were manufactured between April 2025 and January 2026. They pose a fire and burn risk, with 17 reported cases of the heaters catching fire.
They were sold at Costco, on Dreo’s website, and at retailers such as Best Buy and Lowes. That covers a lot of shopping carts.
Here is what owners are told to do. Destroy the heater by cutting the electrical cord, then contact Dreo for a free replacement.
The cord-cutting step is the part people tend to skip. It makes sure nobody plugs the recalled heater back in, whether that is a teenager in the basement or a neighbor who picks it up at a yard sale.
Space heaters are a common cold-weather helper, especially in older homes with drafty rooms. That is why a recall of this size reaches so many households at once.
If you are not sure whether yours is affected, look at the manufacture date on the label first. Only heaters made between April 2025 and January 2026 are included.
Nearly Six Million Bodum French Presses Are Part Of A Burn Warning
Bodum is alerting customers about nearly six million French press coffee makers. The company reports 70 incidents of the glass carafe breaking, including 48 reports of burns.
The problem shows up mainly in the 8-cup and 12-cup models. It happens when a metal spoon is used to stir while the glass is already cracked.
Bodum is offering a free plastic stirring spoon, and customers can request one by contacting the company or visiting its website. If you have a French press on your counter, that spoon swap is a small fix for a painful injury.
Nursing Pillows Sold On Amazon Can Obstruct A Baby’s Breathing
PILLANI has recalled its U-shaped nursing pillows, which were sold on Amazon from April through September 2026. The recall says the pillows violate mandatory safety standards.
The recalled pillows are model NP4351, with batch numbers 202604, 202605 or 202606. They can obstruct an infant’s breathing and pose a risk of suffocation, though no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using the pillows immediately and contact PILLANI for a full refund and disposal instructions. If you are a grandparent who bought a baby gift online this fall, this one is worth a phone call to the new parents.
Parents and grandparents know how quickly a baby product can become part of daily life. A nursing pillow is used for hours at a time, which is why the model and batch numbers matter so much here.
Look on the pillow’s tag or the Amazon order history. If the batch number ends in 202604, 202605 or 202606 and the model is NP4351, it is on the list.
A Whole Foods Supplement Is Recalled Over Possible Salmonella
Vitality Works has recalled its 365 Whole Foods Market Ashwagandha Capsules over potential salmonella contamination. The recall affects 120-count bottles sold nationwide at Whole Foods Market stores and on Amazon between November 24, 2025, and October 20, 2026.
No illnesses have been reported. Consumers are advised to dispose of the capsules and return to the store for a refund.
Check the cabinet where the vitamins live, because a bottle bought almost a year ago can still be sitting there.
Many different stores show up in this one list, including Costco, Best Buy, Lowes, Whole Foods and Amazon. That is a good reason to keep an eye on notices no matter where you shop.
How To Check Your Home Against A Recall In Five Minutes
Recall notices are easy to miss, so a little routine goes a long way. These are general steps that work for any product, not just the four above.
- Find the model number, batch number or manufacture dates on the product or its packaging. The Dreo and PILLANI notices rely on exactly those details.
- Compare them against the recall notice. Dates matter, since the Dreo recall covers heaters made between April 2025 and January 2026.
- Follow the stated remedy, whether it is a free replacement, a free part or a refund. Do not keep using a product while you wait.
- Pass the word along to relatives who may own the same item, especially anything bought as a gift.
- Keep receipts or order confirmations from Costco, Amazon and other stores, since they help when you contact the company.
This week’s list is a mix of appliances, a kitchen gadget, a baby product and a supplement, which shows how recalls can reach every room in the house. A few minutes with a flashlight and a notice can keep a bad surprise out of your home.
If you own a recalled Dreo heater, unplug it, cut the cord and call the company. Your family’s safety is worth far more than the heater.
