Urgent recall issued for cookie sold at Target
The products, sold in 10-packs with Lot number 251915, were sent to Target stores in 21 states , including New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia. The Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) said it was a 'Class II' recall — initiated when products could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.
Target has yanked all affected packs from shelves and its website, urging shoppers to toss them or contact customer service for a refund. It's unclear if any consumers reported seeing wood in their cookies. The recall follows a string of food safety scares.
Ada Valley Meat Company pulled more than 1,000 pounds of cooked ground beef over fears of metal contamination. Meanwhile, nearly 18,000 tubs of Blue Bunny and Halo Top ice cream were recalled after plastic pieces were found inside. Summer essentials have also been recalled over the last few months.
A recall was issued for 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table play kitchens on July 31 because they are a strangulation risk to kids. Regulators found the product caused the death of a 23-month-old in Oregon two years ago. More than 3.6 million hoses were recalled earlier that month following 222 reports of hoses bursting, causing 29 injuries — including bruises, two sprained bones and five cases of temporary hearing loss.
Meanwhile, five million above-ground swimming pools were recalled after a design flaw was linked to nine child drownings.

Medical hand soap brand recalls four types of its products
Medical hand soap brand DermaRite has recalled four types of its products sold across the United States and Puerto Rico. The recall was initiated after the detection of Burkholderia cepacia, a potentially deadly and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, in the soap products. These over-the-counter antiseptic soaps are primarily used by healthcare professionals in settings such as hospitals and nursing homes. The bacteria poses a significant risk, particularly to immunosuppressed individuals and those with chronic lung diseases, potentially leading to life-threatening infections like sepsis. DermaRite has instructed distributors and customers to immediately examine stock and destroy affected products, with no adverse events reported to date.

Popular hair growth cream recalled over risk of 'serious injury or death from poisoning'
Officials are raising the alarm over a popular hair loss serum sold nationwide that could cause serious injury and death. Sefralls Minoxidil Hair Generation Serum, sold in amber dropper bottles for $10 on Amazon, is being recalled because it is not in child-resistant packaging. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall, warned children could accidentally open and consume the minoxidil-laced fluid. Scientists say that consuming just a few ounces of minoxidil, an over-the-counter medication approved by the FDA to reverse hair loss, can cause blood vessels to become dangerously relaxed, triggering extremely low blood pressure. This can cause the heart to shut down, start beating erratically or go into heart failure, and cause death. It can also pose a serious hazard to pets if ingested. About 21,300 units of the product have been recalled and were distributed in the US from June 2024 to June 2025. No injuries or deaths have been reported to date. Guangzhou Ariel Biotech, the Chinese company behind the product, has urged customers to immediately place recalled bottles out of sight or reach of children and contact them for instructions on how to destroy the bottles. It is offering to send replacements to customers who pour the contents of the bottle into the trash, photograph it and send the image to the company. Officials said customers could identify whether their minoxidil had been recalled by whether it mentioned 'Sefralls' and 'minoxidil' on the label. The bottles sold also had a white and gold dropper and a white, black and gold label. The recall is thought to affect every bottle of Sefralls Minoxidil Hair Generation Serum sold in the US. In the recall notice on August 7, the CPSC wrote: 'The hair serum's packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.' All bottles of minoxidil sold in the US are required to be child resistant under the 1970 Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Officials included minoxidil in the act amid mounting concerns over the risk the drug posed to small children. There are no publicly reported fatalities in the US to date among young children who accidentally consumed minoxidil. Minoxidil has exploded in popularity in recent years, alongside hair loss drug finasteride, with about 13million Americans estimated to use the drug in 2024. The US hair loss market has also surged in value, with estimates suggesting it will more than double from a value of $2.84billion to more than $5.26billion over the next decade. The drug works by boosting blood flow to the areas surrounding hair follicles, which can stimulate hair regrowth and restore hair in previously bald patches. It is formulated in low concentrations in hair loss treatments to achieve this effect safely, minimizing the risk to patients. If consumed, doctors treat patients by administering large amounts of fluids and medications to raise blood pressure. The FDA has only approved minoxidil as a drug for treating hair loss. It is at least the second recall over minoxidil being sold in non-child safe bottles in as many months, after another recall was issued in late July for Aemerry Hair Growth Serums, which also was not sold in child-resistant packaging. About 2,300 bottles of the hair growth serums were sold online at from March to June this year for about $22 each. They were sold in black-tinted bottles with droppers for dispensing the serums and navy blue labels with blue and white lettering. The front of the bottles read: 'Aemerry Clinically Proven To Help Regrow Beard 5% Minoxidil with Biotin.' No injuries or deaths have been reported to date, and consumers are being urged to throw out the bottles.
