Costco Recalls Several Items That Pose Risk to Customers
Costco regulars may want to dig up their old receipts. The wholesale and retail giant has announced a recall of over a dozen items, some of which pose potential danger to its customers. Included in the recalls are a couple of Anker power banks, Danby and Midea air conditioners, Bridgestone and Michelin tires, and BowFlex dumbbells. Two Anker power banks, model A1257 and Powercore 10000 Power Bank model A1263, are among the items recalled. The China-based electronics company detected issues with the lithium-ion batteries used in both models, posing a "potential fire safety risk." The recall comes after several reports of Anker products exploding, causing minor burns and even property damage. Six models of U-Shape Window AC's from Midea and one model from Danby 8k were also recalled. The recall notice cited the air conditioners' failure to drain quickly enough. The pooled water due to poor drainage could lead mold growth, which poses "risk of respiratory issues and some infections" to consumers. Specific models of Bridgestone Blizzak 6 Tires and Michelin Agilis CrossClimate C-Metric Tires were recalled for failure to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139. BowFlex 552 adjustable dumbbells were also recalled due to reports that weight plates can fall off the handle while in use. The aforementioned products comprise half of Costco's full list of recalled items, which includes Segway and Sublue scooters, Topo Chico water bottles and Kirkland cold medicine. All items can be exchanged for a replacement, or the customer may request a full refund. Costco has been taking some hits lately, including poor reviews for the store's new $16 Recalls Several Items That Pose Risk to Customers first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 7, 2025

I Worked Up A Sweat Finding The Best Prime Day Air Conditioner Deals—And They End Today
Amazon Prime Day is an excellent time to invest in new home appliances, but the four-day sale ends today. I've spent many hours over the last three days rounding up the best Prime Day air conditioner deals with the urgency of someone whose own AC was broken. So it bears saying: While the prices remain hot, this is your last chance at scoring any of these Prime Day AC deals. I found that many of our favorite models—ones which we've included in our roundups of the best air conditioners—are still on sale. For example, the Midea Duo Inverter Portable Air Conditioner, which we awarded the best portable air conditioner overall, is $100 off right now. Our top value window model, the Midea EasyCool Window Air Conditioner, is just $150. You can also score $70 off the popular SereneLife SPLAC10 Portable Air Conditioner, our choice for the best value portable model. From now through July 11, you can save up to 32% off some of our favorite air conditioning units. Illustration: Forbes / Photo: Retailers The bottom line: I found a bunch of air conditioners discounted for Prime Day that will very likely suit your space and needs, and along with other Forbes Vetted editors, I've done copious research on pricing history and the quality of the units themselves. Many of them are featured in our stories covering the best portable air conditioners and the best window air conditioners.

This machine is smart, efficient, versatile (it can also dehumidify and heat) and surprisingly quiet, which makes it a great option for areas like bedrooms or a home office.
