The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a series of urgent product safety warnings in March, urging consumers to “immediately stop using” three different products after determining they might pose serious risks of injury or death.
The warnings, all issued on March 19, involve products that violate federal safety standards and, in some cases, have already been linked to fires, injuries, and property damage.
Fire Risk Linked to Ridstar E-Bikes
One of the warnings centers on Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Pro electric bikes, which the CPSC said pose a significant fire hazard because their lithium‑ion batteries and wiring can ignite.
The agency reported being aware of 11 fire incidents, including one burn injury, five cases of smoke inhalation, and more than $40,000 in property damage.
Consumers are being told to “immediately stop” using the e‑bikes, remove the batteries, and dispose of them. The CPSC also warned consumers not to sell or give away the bikes or their batteries.
According to the agency, the manufacturer—China‑based Huizhou Xingqishi Sporting Goods Co., Ltd.—has refused to agree to an acceptable recall.
The black e‑bikes, branded “Ridstar,” were sold online through Amazon, Walmart, and Ridstar’s website and were manufactured in China.
Infant Support Cushion Poses Suffocation And Battery Hazards
In a separate warning, the CPSC instructed caregivers to stop using LullaBear Choco Bear infant support cushions, because they may cause a serious risk of suffocation.
According to the notice, the animal‑shaped cushions were marketed for infant sleep, but they violate mandatory federal regulations for infant support products because they can obstruct a baby’s breathing.
The agency also flagged an additional hazard: a remote control included with the cushions contains a button cell or coin battery that can be easily accessed and potentially swallowed by children, which can cause internal burns or even death.
Roughly 2,700 units were sold online at Livvewell.com between June 2025 and January 2026 for prices ranging from $49 to $100.
The manufacturer, Zhejiang Fanzhou Technology Co., Ltd., doing business as Livvewell, is unable to offer a remedy to consumers, according to the CPSC.
Consumers are urged to dispose of the cushions immediately and properly dispose of the battery from the remote control.
Youth ATVs Violate Federal Safety Standards
The CPSC has also issued a warning about Gpower youth all‑terrain vehicles (ATVs), telling consumers to stop using them “immediately” because they violate mandatory federal safety standards and pose risks of deadly crashes and laceration injuries.
The agency said the youth ATVs can go faster than the maximum speed allowed for vehicles intended for children, do not meet mechanical suspension safety requirements, and are missing safety reflectors, which reduces their visibility.
Additionally, the handlebars present a laceration hazard if a child’s body or head strikes them during a crash or when travelling at high speeds.
The ATVs also lack a CPSC‑approved ATV action plan, which mandates rider training, safety education, and age recommendations.
About 320 youth ATVs were sold online at Walmart between August and December 2025 for around $300, but the CSPC warns that they may have been sold at other, third-party online retailers.
The seller, Hangzhou Hanmin E‑Commerce Co., Ltd., doing business as Gpower, has not agreed to a recall.
