Amazon Announces Major Change For Groceries
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Amazon has announced that customers in more than 1,000 U.S. cities and towns will soon be able order perishable groceries, including produce, dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods and frozen foods, for same-day delivery. The delivery giant will make the deliveries through its existing Same-Day Delivery network, with plans to expand the offering to roughly 2,300 locations by the end of 2025. Why It Matters The move places Amazon in more direct competition with Walmart+ and Instacart by lowering friction for customers to buy fresh food alongside nonfood items in a single checkout. Lower order minimums and free same-day delivery for Prime members could also nudge consumers toward Amazon and pressure rival delivery margins. What To Know On August 13, Amazon enabled same-day delivery of perishable groceries in more than 1,000 U.S. cities and towns and said it planned to reach roughly 2,300 locations by year-end. The company had piloted the service in major cities across the U.S., including Phoenix, Orlando, and Kansas City. Prime members receive same-day grocery delivery free on orders over $25 in most cities, while Prime orders below that minimum incur a $2.99 fee; non‑Prime customers can use the service for a $12.99 per-order fee. Amazon said it had integrated perishable items into its temperature-controlled fulfillment network and used insulated, recyclable bags and a six-point quality check for items before delivery.

Marco Bertorello/AFP via Getty Images "This marks one of the most significant grocery expansions for Amazon as the company introduces thousands of perishable food items into its existing logistics network that is already optimized for speed and efficiency," Amazon said in their statement. "Customers will have the option to order produce, dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods, and frozen foods, alongside the millions of items such as everyday household essentials, electronics, fashion, home and garden, and more already available for Same-Day Delivery." What People Are Saying Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, said in a statement: "We're continuously innovating to make grocery shopping simpler, faster, and more affordable for our customers, especially Prime members. "By introducing fresh groceries into our Same-Day Delivery service, we're creating a quick and easy experience for customers. They can order milk alongside electronics; oranges, apples, and potatoes with a mystery novel; and frozen pizza at the same time as tools for their next home improvement project—and check out with one cart and have everything delivered to their doorstep within hours." What Happens Next Amazon planned to expand same-day perishables to roughly 2,300 cities by year-end and to continue building out its same-day logistics footprint, a move that could prompt faster delivery offers and pricing responses from Walmart+, Instacart and delivery platforms.

Amazon Recall Update: Warning Over Multiple Products Sold Nationwide
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Amazon and several third-party vendors issued nationwide recalls for various children's products, including safety gates, crib bumpers, dressers and play yard mattresses. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that the products, sold exclusively online on posed hazards such as suffocation, entrapment and tip-over injuries. Each recall notice urged consumers to stop using the affected items immediately and offered refunds for products that are destroyed and documented with photos. No injuries have been reported from the recalled items. The logo of the e-commerce company Amazon on a parcel in Manta, Italy, on March 29, 2024.

Marco Bertorello/AFP via Getty Images Why It Matters Recalls are issued when concerns arise that a product is defective or potentially harmful in some way, such as when testing shows that foods are contaminated with potentially deadly bacteria or have been infected with a foreign object during the manufacturing process. The recall of multiple child-focused products highlights continued risks associated with unregulated or noncompliant imports sold by third-party vendors on major online platforms. These latest recalls demonstrate that products violating federal standards remain available to U.S. consumers, underlining the importance of regulatory oversight and Amazon's marketplace responsibility. What To Know Dearlomum Retractable Safety Gates About 2,200 Dearlomum Retractable Safety Gates were recalled after being sold on Amazon between December 2024 and May for $33 to $38. The gates, distributed by Signbaby, can entrap a child's torso between the gate and floor, risking injury or death. The product violates federal regulations for children's gate safety. To receive a full refund, consumers must cut and destroy the gate and submit documentation to Signbaby. These padded crib bumpers violate a federal ban because they can obstruct breathing, posing a risk of serious injury or death to infants from suffocation.

CPSC AUGNORYE Padded Crib Bumpers YIXIA recalled about 356 units of AUGNORYE Padded Cushioned Crib Bumpers on July 10. These products were sold from February to May on Amazon for $40 to $45. The CPSC found that the soft bumpers violated the federal ban on padded crib bumpers, presenting a suffocation risk that could create an unsafe sleep environment for infants. Refunds are offered when consumers cut and document destruction of the products. Braided Crib Bumpers by Haoyunm About 260 braided crib bumpers, imported by Haoyunm, were recalled for violating the same federal ban as the AUGNORYE product. Sold in various lengths and colors on Amazon from December 2024 to April, the unmarked bumpers are considered suffocation hazards. Customers are required to cut the product in half and provide evidence to receive a refund. WLIVE Fabric Dressers Jiangsu Zhi Pai Furniture Manufacturing Co. Ltd. recalled about 6,600 WLIVE Fabric 15-Drawer Dressers, sold for about $110 each between April 2024 and May 2025 on Amazon. The product is unstable and poses tip-over and entrapment risks unless anchored to a wall, violating the federal STURDY Act standard for clothing storage units, according to the CPSC. Refunds are processed after customers submit disposal documentation. Creekliybear Play Yard Mattresses Kbabyea recalled 21,500 Creekliybear aftermarket play yard mattresses. These products, sold online on Amazon for $28 to $40 from December 2024 to June, exceed federally mandated thickness requirements. They may not fit standard play yards, presenting a potential fatal entrapment hazard, the CPSC said. Refunds are processed for those providing proof of mattress destruction. What People Are Saying Amazon said on its product recall page: "Our Product Safety Team proactively investigates and addresses reported safety complaints and incidents to ensure customer protection from potential product-related safety risks. We closely monitor public recall alert websites and receive notifications from vendors and sellers. Upon discovering a product recall, we immediately halt affected product offerings, and promptly inform both customers and sellers involved about the recall."
