TL;DR: Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita warned Hoosiers on June 12, 2026, to check summer gear against more than 40 May recalls listed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Summer alert covers more than 40 May recalls

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers to over 40 recalled products during the month of May, according to WBIW reporting on the June 12, 2026, warning.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission listed recalled items in multiple areas, from furniture to sporting equipment to children's toys, and more, according to that same WBIW report.

The warning was framed around seasonal activity. According to the Indiana Attorney General notice carried by Forth, Rokita said:

"With summer coming and the weather warming up, a lot of us are eager to get outside and enjoy being active."

In the same statement, Rokita added that products in use — whether outdoor furniture, sports gear, kids' toys, or even water bottles — should be confirmed safe.

He also said a few quick checks can help keep summer activity going without serious risks, according to Forth.

For outdoor readiness, the message is direct: inspect what is already in the yard, garage, cabin, and toy box before the season ramps up.

Outdoor furniture leads the list

Powered sofas, loveseats and recliners

Joy Furniture recalls Talan and Royce Living Room Furniture Sets due to risk of serious injury from a fire hazard, according to the Commission list summarized by WBIW.

The power switch on the sofa, loveseat, or recliner can malfunction and overheat, posing a risk of serious injury from a fire hazard, according to that report.

For prepared households, the practical step is general: disconnect power to suspect reclining furniture, stop using it, and verify model identity through the official recall notice.

Patio swings sold at Costco

World Bright International Limited recalls Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings due to risk of serious injury or death from fall hazard, with sale at Costco noted, according to WBIW.

The swing seat can detach from the frame while in use, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fall hazard, according to the same summary.

Backyard users should treat any looseness, shifting, or uneven hanging as a reason to pause use and inspect connections carefully.

Lounge chairs with pinch-point risk

Giantex recalls Lounge Chairs due to amputation hazard, according to the Commission summary reported by WBIW.

Consumers can place their fingers in a pinch point when adjusting the lounge chair, posing an amputation risk, according to that summary.

The general precaution is simple: keep fingers clear of folding joints and adjustment points while opening, closing, or repositioning camp and patio chairs.

Portable hook-on chairs for infants

PandaEar recalls Portable Hook-On Chairs due to risk of serious injury or death from fall hazard, according to WBIW.

The recalled portable hook-on chairs violate the mandatory standard for portable hook-on chairs because the crotch restraints can be removed without the use of a tool and infants can fall through an opening, posing a deadly fall hazard, according to the same report.

Families using hook-on seats at campsites, cabins, or picnic tables should confirm that restraints are present, secure, and not removable by hand.

Indoor stability hazards matter for base camps too

Dressers that require anchoring

Walmart recalls Mainstays 9-Drawer Fabric Dressers due to risk of serious injury or death from tip-over and entrapment hazards, according to WBIW.

The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in risk of serious injuries or death to children, according to the report.

The dressers violate the mandatory safety standard as required by the STURDY Act, according to the same summary.

The broader readiness lesson is general: anchor tall, lightweight storage in bedrooms, bunkhouses, rentals, and trailers, and keep heavier items low.

Adult portable bed rails

Svnntaa Bed Rails are recalled due to risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and asphyxiation hazards, with sale on Amazon by Eokeanon identified, according to WBIW.

The recalled bed rails violate the mandatory standard for adult portable bed rails because users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress, posing a serious entrapment hazard and risk of death by asphyxiation, according to the report.

The rails do not meet structural stability or retention strap requirements, posing a fall hazard, according to the same summary.

Furthermore, the bed rails' push pins and push pin holes are incorrectly sized, posing a laceration hazard, according to WBIW.

Anyone equipping a guest room, elder-care room, or emergency sleeping area should check rail fit, strap retention, and structural stability before overnight use.

Mattresses and fire standards

EVLWZL and Gunugu Mattresses are recalled due to risk of serious injury or death from fire hazard, according to WBIW.

The mattresses violate the mandatory flammability standard for mattresses, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire, according to the report.

Spare mattresses stored for guests, evacuation hosting, or rental turnover should be checked against the recall list rather than assumed safe.

Pendant light fixtures

Minka Lighting Group recalls Bardon Series Pendant Light Fixtures due to risk of serious injury or death from an impact hazard, according to WBIW.

The recalled light fixture's frame can detach from the pendant downrod during installation, posing a risk of serious injury or death from an impact hazard, according to the report.

The practical approach is general: support the fixture during installation work and confirm mounting hardware is fully secured.

Sports and active-gear recalls demand attention

Light-up racket sets and badminton sets

Missry Associates recalls Misco Sports Light-Up Racket Sets due to risk of serious injury or death from battery ingestion, according to WBIW.

The racket sets violate the mandatory standard for toys because the screw on the racket used to secure the battery compartment does not remain attached when opened, and the button cell batteries in the shuttlecock can be easily accessed by children, according to the report.

If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death, according to the same summary.

Missry Associates also recalls Misco Sports Badminton Toy Sets due to risk of serious injury or death from battery ingestion, according to WBIW.

The Misco Sports Badminton Toy Sets violate the mandatory safety standard for children's toys because the shuttlecocks contain button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children, according to the report.

When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and deaths, according to that summary.

For family kits, the general rule is clear: keep button-cell products out of small children's reach and inspect battery doors for secure closure.

Bicycle helmets sold on Temu

Multi-purpose helmets are recalled due to risk of serious injury or death from head injury, with sale on Temu by Foubeaka and Geniuss identified, according to WBIW.

The recalled helmets violate the mandatory safety standard for bicycle helmets because they do not comply with the positional stability and certification requirements, according to the report.

The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a serious risk of injury or death due to head injury, according to the same summary.

Riders preparing for summer cycling, trail riding, and family bike outings should verify that helmets carry proper certification and remain stable on the head.

ATVs with speed-limiter problem

BRP recalls Can-Am All-Terrain Vehicles due to risk of serious injury and death from crash hazard, according to WBIW.

The ATV's speed limiter control can malfunction, causing unexpected speed and acceleration, posing a serious risk of injury or death from crash hazard, according to the report.

The warning matters for trail users because unexpected acceleration leaves little room for correction on uneven ground.

Owners should stop operating affected machines until the recall remedy is confirmed through the official notice.

Dumbbells and resistance bands

Amazon recalls Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells due to impact hazard, according to WBIW.

The weight plates can fail to engage completely during weight adjustment and dislodge from the dumbbell handle when used, posing an impact hazard, according to the report.

Resistance Bands recalled due to serious injury from impact hazard and imported by HomeProGym are also on the May list, according to WBIW.

The recalled resistance bands can forcefully separate from the handle during use, posing a risk of serious injury from impact hazard, according to the same summary.

Home and camp gym users should inspect adjustable weights for full engagement before lifting overhead and check bands and handles for separation.

How to use the May recall list

The Indiana Attorney General notice, as presented by Forth, groups the May actions under furniture and sport headings, with additional children's-toy and other categories referenced in the overall total of over 40 products.

Anyone assembling a summer kit should cross-check outdoor furniture, sports gear, kids' toys, and water bottles named in the Commission reports.

Stop using a listed product, isolate it from children and guests, and follow the remedy instructions in the corresponding U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notice.

Keep model names, seller names, and hazard descriptions together when searching, because several May entries turn on the seller or standard violated rather than appearance alone.
