Over 20,000 portable stadium seats recalled nationwide
(WHTM) — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of more than 20,000 portable folding stadium seats due to fall and injury hazards.
According to CPSC, about 22,500 AMX Global Portable Folding Stadium Seats have been recalled because the bleacher security hooks can crack and break, posing fall and injury hazards for consumers.
To date, AMX Global has received five reports of the security hook breaking, including two reports of falls and one injury involving bruising, headaches, and a pinched nerve.
These recalled seats were sold at BJ's Wholesale Club and Big 5 Corp stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from July 2022 through January 2024 for between $30 and $50.
CPSC says this recall specifically involves the AMX Global Portable Folding Stadium Seat sold under the BJ's Wholesale (Berkley Jensen logo) or Black Sierra (Black Sierra Equipment logo) brand.
The recalled Berkley Jensen seats have the date code '04/2022' on the white tag on the bottom of the seat, and the recalled Black Sierra Equipment seats have the date codes '05/2022' or '11/2022' on the white tag on the bottom of the seat.
Moving forward, consumers are told to immediately stop using the recalled seats and destroy them by cutting through the fabric of the seat and backrest. You should then take a photo of the destroyed recalled seat, including the consumer's initials and the date in the photo.
You can then send the photo to AMX Global at support@stadiumseatrecall.com to receive a full refund.

Over 1.1 million Anker power banks recalled due to fire hazard, officials say
More than 1.15 million portable power banks are being recalled nationwide after several incidents of overheating, fires and explosions were reported, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall affects Anker Innovations' 'PowerCore 10000' portable chargers with model number A1263. The lithium-ion battery in these devices can overheat and pose a risk of melting, smoke, and fire, the CPSC said in a safety alert issued Thursday. Anker, which is based in China, acknowledged the safety concerns and said the recall is being conducted 'out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of our customers.' The company and CPSC have documented at least 19 incidents involving the chargers, including two cases where users suffered minor burns and 11 reports of property damage totaling more than $60,700. The recalled chargers were sold online between June 2016 and December 2022 for about $27. Retailers included Anker's website, Amazon, eBay and Newegg. Customers who have the affected model are advised to stop using it immediately. Anker is offering free replacements, but consumers must first submit a photo of their power bank showing the model number, serial number, their name, the date, and the word 'recalled' written on the product. Both Anker and the CPSC emphasized that these devices should not be disposed of in regular trash or curbside recycling due to the fire risk from lithium-ion batteries. Instead, users should follow local disposal guidelines for electronics or hazardous materials. Consumers can find more information and register for the recall at Anker's recall site.

More than 1 million power banks recalled after some consumers report fires
NEW YORK -- More than 1.15 million power banks are under recall across the U.S. after some fires and explosions were reported by consumers. According to a Thursday notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, electronics maker Anker Innovations is recalling certain 'PowerCore 10000' power banks because the lithium-ion battery inside can overheat. An overheating battery can lead to 'melting of plastic components, smoke, and fire hazards,' Anker wrote in an accompanying announcement. The company added that it was conducting this recall "out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of our customers." According to the CPSC, China-based Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions involving these now-recalled portable chargers. That includes two minor burn injuries and 11 reports of property damage amounting to over $60,700. The recalled 'PowerCore 10000' power banks have a model number of A1263. They were sold online at Anker's website — as well as Amazon, eBay and Newegg — between June 2016 and December 2022 for about $27 across the U.S., per the recall notice. Consumers in possession these now-recalled chargers are urged to stop using them immediately — and contact Anker for a free replacement. Impacted consumers can visit Anker's website for more information and register for the recall. To receive a replacement, consumers will need to submit a photo of their recalled power bank that shows its model number, serial number, their name, date and the word 'recalled' written on the product. Both the CPSC and Anker note that these power banks should not be thrown directly in the trash or general recycling streams. Due to fire risks, recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries — so it's important to check local guidance.
