Costco Just Sent Out 3 More Recall Letters — Check Your Recent Purchases Now

Costco just sent out three more recall letters (mid-June 2026)

If you got a recall letter from Costco lately, it was probably one of these three. Here is what each one is and what to do about it. All three are returnable to the warehouse for a refund.

1. Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater – fire hazard, 8 fires already reported

This one is worth paying attention to. If you have one of these little black or white tower heaters tucked away in a closet or the garage, stop using it. Vornado is recalling roughly 255,000 units in the U.S. after the fan blade has been detaching from the motor shaft, which causes the heater to overheat, melt internal parts, and in some cases catch fire. CPSC counted 32 overheating reports and 8 fires tied to this exact model. The recall was made official June 4, 2026 (CPSC recall #26-532).

Is yours affected?

• Model: Vornado SRTH (look at the rating label on the bottom, it says TYPE SRTH)
• Costco item number: 1002889
• UPC: 043765008478
• Roughly 12.5 inches tall by 6 inches around, black or white plastic
• Sold at Costco and online from August 2013 through May 2026 for about $40-$50

What to do: unplug it and either bring it back to your local Costco for a full refund, or register it at the official Vornado website (click “SRTH Small Room Tower Heater Recall”) and they will send you a $49.99 refund directly. If you bought it for someone else, send them this article and have them check.

Questions: Vornado Recall Team at 1-888-240-2768, Monday-Friday 8 AM to 5 PM Central, or email [email protected].

2. Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels (125 mg, 120 ct) – propylene glycol contamination from packaging line

If you bought Gas-X at Costco between mid-April and early May, check the bottle before your next dose. Haleon (the manufacturer) is voluntarily recalling three lots after a machine on the packaging line leaked, leaving traces of propylene-glycol-based coolant in some bottles. No adverse events have been reported as of the recall date, but the recall is nationwide and the FDA published the notice on June 4, 2026.

Is yours affected?

• Product: Gas-X Extra Strength Softgels, 125 mg, 120-count bottle
• Costco item number: 301341
• UPC: 300674350419
• Affected lot numbers (printed on the bottle): TL8K, YH9X, YH9Y (all with expiry November 2028)
• Sold between April 13, 2026 and May 8, 2026

What to do: if the lot number on your bottle is one of the three above, return it to any Costco for a full refund. If you have already taken a few and feel anything unusual, contact your physician. The FDA wants any adverse reactions reported through MedWatch website or 1-800-332-1088).

Questions: Haleon Consumer Relations at 1-800-245-1040, Monday-Friday 8 AM to 6 PM Eastern, or email [email protected].

3. Titan Pro 40-Can Soft-Sided Iceless Collapsible Cooler – magnet choking hazard

If you grabbed a Titan Pro soft-sided cooler at Costco in March, the latch on the lid has a small but strong magnet that can fall out if the cover seal was not done right at the factory. The hazard is a choking risk for kids and pets if the magnet works loose. About 2,500 units are affected and no injuries have been reported, but California Innovations (the importer) is sending letters to every affected member. CPSC recall #26-553, dated June 11, 2026.

Is yours affected?

• Product: Titan Pro 40-Can Soft-Sided Iceless Collapsible Cooler
• Costco item number: 1872184
• Sold at Costco between March 6, 2026 and March 29, 2026

What to do: stop using the cooler and call California Innovations to get a free replacement latch kit shipped to you. You do not have to return the cooler to Costco for this one – the fix is the latch itself.

Questions: California Innovations at 1-888-413-2665, Monday-Friday 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern.

Quick checklist for the three new ones

• Walk to the closet where the small heater lives. Is it a Vornado SRTH? Unplug it.
• Check the Gas-X bottle in the medicine cabinet for lot TL8K, YH9X, or YH9Y. If yes, set it aside.
• If you bought a soft-sided Titan Pro cooler in March, call for the latch kit.
• Then keep scrolling for the bigger freezer-favorite recall, the Menlo patio swing, the Giovanni Rana ravioli situation, and the Sugar Bowl Madeleines we already covered.

If you shop at Costco and keep quick breakfast proteins in the freezer, check your kitchen right now. A specific, limited batch of Jones Dairy Farm Chicken Sausage Links (Costco item #1211239) sold in May 2026 is being recalled because some packages may contain pork sausage links due to a packing error.

This is the most comprehensive, up-to-date guide available. It combines every detail from the official personalized member letter (dated June 1, 2026), multiple news sources, and the additional verified information you just provided. Nothing is left out.

1. What Happened? (Exact Cause & Context)

During a production run at Jones Dairy Farm, a packing error occurred. A small amount of pork sausage links was accidentally introduced into packages that were supposed to contain exclusively chicken sausage links.

• Is it a health hazard? No. The official letter from Jones Dairy Farm states clearly: “While not a food safety concern.” There is no bacterial contamination, spoilage, chemical issue, or any other food safety risk.
• Why the recall then? It is a serious labeling error. For anyone who avoids pork for religious reasons (halal or kosher), dietary preferences, ethical choices, health conditions (such as alpha-gal syndrome or pork allergy), or personal reasons, discovering pork in a product labeled “Chicken Sausage Links” is unacceptable.
• Important official context: This was an “isolated event” impacting only a very limited amount of product. It is not a widespread or ongoing production problem.

2. When Did This Happen? (Precise Timeline)

• Purchase window: Affected items were sold at select Midwest Costco locations between May 1, 2026 and May 28, 2026.
• Official recall announcement: Personalized member warning letters were distributed on June 1, 2026.
• Use-By Date on affected packages: April 29, 2027 (printed as 04 29 27 or similar).

Because the product is frozen, many packages may still be in freezers.

3. How to Identify the Impacted Product (Exact Checklist)

Do not rely on taste or appearance. Use these three specific identifiers printed on the packaging:

Rule: If your package has a different item number or a different Use By Date, it is not part of this recall and is safe to consume as labeled.

The official member letter includes photos of the exact affected packaging and the printed code date for easy visual matching.

4. What to Do Next – Complete Action Plan (Do This Today)

If your package matches the identifiers above, follow these steps in order:

1. Stop consuming the product immediately If anyone in your household avoids pork, do not eat any more from the package. Set it aside safely so it is not accidentally cooked.
2. Locate and keep the original packaging Keep the product in its original bag if possible. Costco can verify purchases electronically via your membership card, but having the physical packaging with the barcode and date stamp makes the return process seamless and faster.
3. Return it to Costco for a full refund Take the item to the returns desk at any Costco wholesale warehouse.
   • You do not need a paper receipt.
   • The returns agent will scan your Costco membership card, locate the purchase between May 1–28, 2026, and process the refund.

5. How to Get a Full Refund (Even If You Threw It Away)

Costco’s return policy is extremely generous, especially for manufacturer recalls.

• You are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price.
• No receipt required — membership card lookup covers it.
• Refund goes back to your original payment method or as a Costco cash card.

Special case — What if you already threw the product away? Speak directly to the customer service desk or returns counter. Because Costco tracks all member purchase history, they can often confirm you bought item #1211239 during the target May 2026 window and still honor the full refund. Bring your membership card and explain the situation.

6. Who to Call If You Are Confused or Need Help

Primary contact for this recall:

• Jones Dairy Farm Consumer Affairs Phone: 1-800-635-6637 Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT)

Official signatory on the recall letter: Kelsey Bre Ann Sindelar Vice President of Technical Services & Purchasing Jones Dairy Farm

You can also contact your local Costco Member Services desk or use the Costco app/website chat for assistance.

7. While You’re Checking Your Freezer — Separate Costco Recall (Important Bonus)

News coverage of the sausage recall also highlighted a completely separate and unrelated food safety recall happening at Costco at the same time:

Champion Foods / Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread — voluntary recall due to potential Salmonella contamination from a milk powder supplier.

Affected products:

• Single packs — UPC: 8 70375 00511 1
• Two-packs — UPC: 8 70375 00509 8

Action: If you purchased these, do not eat them. Return them to Costco immediately for a full refund. This one is a food safety issue.

8. Expanded FAQ – Every Possible Question Answered

Q: I already ate some. Am I in danger? A: No food safety risk according to the manufacturer. The only concern is the unexpected pork for those who avoid it.

Q: My package looks similar but has a different date. Is it okay? A: Yes — only packages with the April 29, 2027 use-by date from the May 1–28, 2026 purchase window are affected.

Q: Can I get a replacement instead of a refund? A: The stated remedy is a full refund. Ask at the returns desk — flexibility is sometimes possible.

Q: What if I’m not sure whether my store carried it? A: Call 1-800-635-6637 or check with your local Costco. The recall was targeted to members who actually purchased the item.

Q: Does this affect other Jones Dairy Farm products? A: No. This recall is limited to this specific item and date code only.

Q: I have religious dietary requirements and already consumed it. A: This is a personal/faith matter. Consult your religious advisor (imam, rabbi, etc.) for guidance on unintentional consumption.

Agio Menlo Patio Swing — 18,500 Units Recalled After 8 Injuries

The CPSC just posted a fresh recall on May 14, 2026 covering an outdoor furniture item sold exclusively at Costco between February and March 2026. Eight Costco members have already been injured. If you bought an Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swing in the last three months, walk outside and check yours before someone sits in it this weekend.

The Critical Safety Issue: Seat Detaching From the Frame

The CPSC alert identifies a fall hazard caused by the swing seat detaching from its hanging frame mid-use. The failure point is the hardware connecting the seat hooks to the upper canopy frame. Eight separate injury reports have been logged so far, including head impacts and arm-impact injuries from sudden drops.

How to Identify the Recalled Swing in Your Backyard

• Product name: Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swing
• Model number: 1934256 (look on the white tag underneath the seat or on the box)
• Manufacturer: World Bright International Limited
• Approximate retail price: $549–$649
• Sold: Costco warehouses + Costco.com, February through March 2026
• Units recalled: approximately 18,500

What to Do Right Now

• Stop using the swing immediately. Don’t let kids, grandkids, or pets near it until the repair kit is installed.
• Contact World Bright International for a free replacement-hook kit that addresses the failure point. The kit installs in under 30 minutes with the included hardware.
• Or return the swing to Costco for a full refund — no receipt needed, the purchase is on file under your membership.

Why This Hits Home for Costco Members

Costco-exclusive outdoor furniture is one of the most-trusted categories the warehouse stocks. Members trust patio sets and outdoor seating because Costco vets the suppliers and stands behind the returns. An eight-injury fall recall undermines that trust, especially heading into Memorial Day weekend when these swings are about to see their heaviest use of the year.

Who to Contact: Repair Kit & Support

• World Bright International (free repair kit): visit the CPSC recall page at cpsc.gov to access the manufacturer contact form
• Costco refund: bring the swing to any warehouse member services counter for a no-receipt refund
• Report an injury: CPSC SaferProducts.gov

Giovanni Rana RANA Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli

Costco shoppers should check their ravioli bags carefully. A new USDA public health alert warns that some packages may contain the wrong filling, creating a serious undeclared shellfish allergen risk. Here’s what to look for, which dates are affected, and how to get a full refund.

Highlights

• Product: Giovanni Rana RANA Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli (32-oz plastic bag)
• Issue: Bag may contain shrimp + lobster sauce ravioli instead — undeclared shellfish allergen
• Sold at: Costco stores in Maryland and New Jersey only (so far)
• Use-by dates affected: 05/14/2026 through 06/25/2026
• USDA establishment number: Est. 44870 (inside the USDA mark of inspection)
• Action: Don’t eat it. Return it to Costco for a full refund — no receipt needed

What happened — the short version

On May 4, 2026, the USDA’s FSIS issued a public health alert (not a full recall, but functionally the same — pull it from the shelf) after two consumer complaints that what was supposed to be beef-and-burrata ravioli inside the bag was actually shrimp ravioli swimming in lobster sauce.

Both shrimp and lobster are FDA Big Eight allergens. They’re not declared anywhere on the bag. For someone with a shellfish allergy (about 2% of U.S. adults — that’s roughly 6.6 million people), eating one of these by mistake could trigger anything from hives to anaphylactic shock.

So far, no illnesses or hospitalizations have been reported in connection with the alert. But the agency moved fast because the consequences if someone did get sick are severe.

 

How to check if YOUR ravioli is the recalled one

Walk to your fridge or freezer right now. Look for a 32-oz plastic bag with this exact branding:

Giovanni Rana — RANA Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli

Now flip the bag and look for two things:

1. Use-by date between 05/14/2026 and 06/25/2026 (printed on the seal)
2. Establishment number Est. 44870 inside the round USDA mark of inspection

If your bag matches both, you’re holding a recalled product. Don’t open it. Don’t taste it to “check.” Just bag it up.

What to do if you have it

Option 1: Return it to Costco. Walk it back to your warehouse. Member services will refund you no questions asked — Costco’s return policy on perishables is famously generous, and recalled product is a no-brainer refund. You don’t need a receipt because Costco can pull your purchase from your member account.

Option 2: Throw it out. Seal it in a bag, toss it in the trash. Then take a photo of the bag (front + back with use-by) and email it to Costco member services for a refund credit.

Either way: do not eat it. Do not “cook the shrimp out.” Do not feed it to pets — same allergen risk for them.

Why this keeps happening at Costco

This is the third major Costco recall in 2026 alone involving allergen mislabeling or contamination. Earlier this year:

• A popular Costco bakery item was pulled over packaging contamination concerns
• Two refrigerated Kirkland Signature foods were yanked over possible plastic contamination
• A food court favorite was pulled in 27 states

The pattern isn’t Costco’s fault — it’s their suppliers. Costco moves so much volume (we’re talking thousands of pallets a week per warehouse) that even a tiny mislabeling rate at the supplier shows up as a recall by the time it hits members. The good news: Costco’s recall response is among the fastest in the industry, and the member-account purchase tracking means you can usually find out you bought something risky before you cook it.

Are other states affected?

Right now, only Maryland and New Jersey are confirmed. But the FSIS alert leaves the door open — if more consumer reports come in from other states, the geographic scope expands. Giovanni Rana ravioli is sold at Costco warehouses nationwide, so other regions could be affected if the labeling issue happened at the same production lot.

If you’re outside MD/NJ but you bought this exact ravioli in the last 3 weeks, the safest move is still to return or toss it.

What to grab instead — Costco refrigerated pasta that’s actually labeled correctly

Don’t let one bag turn you off the entire fresh-pasta aisle. A few Costco refrigerated pasta picks members consistently rate high:

• Buitoni Three Cheese Tortellini — 24 oz, usually around $9.99, member-rated 4.8★

• Kirkland Signature Whole-Wheat Penne — pantry option, 6-lb, but the Kirkland fresh refrigerated lineup got expanded last quarter
• Rao’s Homemade Italian Tomato Sauce — pair with any pasta and you’ve got a 15-minute weeknight win

(All of the above are still on shelf at the time of writing — none have been recalled.)

The bigger question: how to stay ahead of the next recall

Costco’s official recall page lives at costco.com/recalls.html and gets updated within hours of any FSIS or FDA alert. But honestly? Most members never check it. Two faster ways to stay in the loop:

1. Bookmark the What’s Trending at Costco This Week page — we update it every time a recall hits, alongside the regular trending finds
2. Sign up for Costco Finds newsletter (link below) — every recall we cover ships to your inbox same-day

You don’t want to find out about a recall after you’ve already eaten the thing.

Bottom line

If you’re in MD or NJ and you’ve got a 32-oz Giovanni Rana ravioli bag in your freezer with a use-by date between May 14 and June 25 — return it today. The shellfish-allergy risk is real, the refund is automatic, and the inconvenience is 20 minutes max.

For the rest of the country: this is your reminder to check the use-by dates on every refrigerated item in your freezer at least once a quarter. Costco recalls move fast — your freezer doesn’t.

Costco shoppers, take note—several recent recalls are impacting popular food items and household products.

From allergen risks to safety hazards, it’s important to check your purchases. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s affected and what you should do next.

Sugar Bowl Bakery Traditional Madeleines (Item #37146)

The Critical Safety Issue: Undeclared Coconut

The primary concern with this recall is a major labeling error. The packaging for the Traditional Madeleines failed to disclose the presence of coconut, a known tree nut allergen. For most, this is a minor ingredient, but for those with sensitivities, it is a hidden danger lurking in a popular snack.

How to Identify the Affected Product in Your Pantry

To verify if your cookies are part of this safety alert, check the following:

• Item Number: #37146.

• Brand: Sugar Bowl Bakery.

• Weight: 28-ounce clear plastic tubs.

• Date Range: Look for “Best By” dates extending through mid-2026.

• Regional Scope: Sold primarily in warehouses across California, Washington, Oregon, and parts of the Midwest.

What to Do if You Have Already Consumed the Madeleines

If you or a family member has already eaten these and has a known tree nut or coconut allergy, you must act fast. Monitor for itching, hives, swelling of the lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms appear, seek emergency medical care immediately. If you do not have an allergy, the product is technically safe to eat, though many prefer to return it out of caution.

Who to Contact: Manufacturer & Support Details

The manufacturer is Sugar Bowl Bakery, based in Hayward, California. You can reach their dedicated consumer safety line at 1-510-785-5711 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST, Monday through Friday. You may also email them through the contact portal on their official website for written confirmation of the recall.

Manufacturer Background and Past History

Sugar Bowl Bakery is a massive supplier for warehouse clubs. While they maintain high quality-control standards, large-scale bakeries occasionally face labeling challenges. In the past, they have had to update packaging to comply with stricter FDA “Cross-Contact” regulations. This particular recall is one of their most significant in the last few years due to the volume sold at Costco.

Costco shoppers, take note—several urgent recalls are impacting popular deli items, bakery treats, and even home equipment.

From a salmonella alert on a ready-to-eat meal kit to mislabeled pastries and fire-risk treadmills, here’s what to check immediately and how to stay safe.

Granitestone Silver Edition Saute Pans (10″ and 12″)

The Danger: Severe Burn and Laceration Hazard

This is a massive hardware recall affecting over 740,000 units. The issue lies in the structural integrity of the handle. There have been numerous reports of the handles suddenly snapping off while the pan is full of hot liquid or heavy food, leading to spilled grease and thermal burns.

Specific Product Identification Markers

You can identify these pans by looking at the following:

• Brand Name: “Granitestone” is etched into the bottom of the cookware.

• Appearance: These are the “Silver Edition” pans with a characteristic hammered or textured interior.

• Sizes: Most reports involve the 10-inch and 12-inch sizes sold individually or as part of a multi-piece set.

What to Do if the Pan Breaks During Use

If you are currently using the pan and the handle feels loose, do not pick it up. Slide it off the heat using an oven mitt on the opposite side. If you have already suffered a burn from a failing handle, document the injury and the pan’s condition with photos, as this may be required for the manufacturer’s claim process.

Manufacturer Contact Information: Emson Support

The manufacturer is E. Mishan & Sons, Inc. (Emson). You should contact their recall center at 1-800-423-4248 or visit their dedicated recall website. They are providing instructions on how to receive a full refund or a safer replacement model.

Emson Manufacturer History and Reliability

Emson is a veteran in the “As Seen On TV” and kitchenware space. They have managed various product recalls over the decades, ranging from electrical gadgets to structural issues in cookware. This particular recall is especially large, involving units sold not just at Costco, but also at Walmart and Amazon.

Best Price Mattress Upholstered Platform Beds

The Structural Risk: Support Frame Collapse

This furniture recall was issued after reports of the bed’s support slats and side rails failing during normal use. When the frame collapses, it can lead to falls and bruising. There have already been five reported injuries linked to this defect.

How to Identify the Bed in Your Bedroom

• Model: “Low Profile” Upholstered Platform Bed.

• Manufacturer: Best Price Mattress.

• Sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, and King.

• Check the Label: Look for a white “law label” on the back of the headboard or the inner side of the rails. You can also verify this through your “Order History” on Costco.com or the Costco App.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Your Next Move

If you own this bed, stop using it immediately. Even if it feels sturdy today, the reports indicate the collapse happens without warning. Move your mattress to the floor for sleep until the frame is removed.

Who to Call for Pickup and Logistics

Because this is a bulky item, you should not try to haul it back to the warehouse alone without calling first. Contact Best Price Mattress at 1-888-359-4414. They are working with Costco to provide either a full refund or a repair kit that reinforces the frame.

Manufacturer Track Record for Best Price Mattress

Best Price Mattress is a high-volume furniture producer known for budget-friendly designs. While they are a staple on e-commerce sites, this collapse risk suggests a significant batch of steel or wood slats did not meet the required load-bearing specifications. This is their most high-profile recall with Costco to date.

How to Maximize Your Costco Recall Refund

The Costco “No Receipt” Benefit

One of the best perks of being a Costco member is that your membership card is your digital receipt. You do not need the original paper slip. The Returns Desk can see your entire purchase history for the last several years.

What to Bring to the Warehouse

For food items, you should bring the packaging or any remaining product. If the food is spoiled, a photo of the label and the “Best By” date is often sufficient. For furniture and electronics, bring any accessories or power cords that came with the item.

Contacting Costco Corporate Directly

If you have general questions about any recall, you can call the Costco Member Service Center at 1-800-774-2678. They can tell you exactly which warehouses in your area are processing specific hardware returns or repairs.

The Meatloaf Meal Kit Salmonella Alert (Item #14283)

The most urgent recall currently affecting Costco members involves the Ready-to-Eat Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Butter. This is a staple in the Costco deli section, making the potential for widespread exposure significant.

How to Positively Identify the Product

Before discarding any items, verify the following details on your packaging:

• Item Number: Look for #14283 on the price label.

• Packaging: The meal is sold in a clear plastic rectangular container with a black base, typically weighing around 3–4 pounds.

• Sell-By Dates: The recall specifically targets units with “Sell-By” dates ranging from March 10, 2026, through March 16, 2026.

• Purchase Location: While this is a nationwide alert, it has been most heavily flagged in 26 states across the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast.

What to Do If You Already Consumed the Meal

Salmonella contamination is serious because symptoms do not always appear immediately. If you or a family member has eaten this meatloaf kit within the last 72 hours, follow these steps:

1. Monitor for Symptoms: Watch for high fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Symptoms usually begin 6 hours to 6 days after infection.

2. The “Next Step” Protocol: If symptoms are mild, stay hydrated. Salmonella can lead to severe dehydration.

3. When to Call a Doctor: Seek medical attention immediately if you experience a fever higher than 102°F, diarrhea that lasts more than 3 days without improvement, or signs of dehydration (dry mouth, dizziness, or decreased urination).

4. Save the Packaging: If you become ill, keep the packaging or a photo of the label. This helps health departments track the specific batch and strain of the bacteria.

Who is the Manufacturer?

While the meal kit is assembled and sold under the Costco name, the recall was triggered by a component provided by a third-party supplier. The primary manufacturer linked to the meat and vegetable components in these kits is Taylor Farms, a major supplier of fresh produce and prepared meal ingredients to warehouse clubs and grocery chains across North America.

Does This Manufacturer Have a History of Recalls?

Taylor Farms is one of the largest food processors in the world, and due to the sheer volume of their operations, they have been involved in several high-profile recalls over the last decade.

• Past Incidents: In previous years, Taylor Farms has issued recalls for onions and celery due to E. coli concerns, as well as various salad kits due to potential Listeria contamination.

• Industry Context: While these incidents are rare relative to the millions of meals produced, they highlight the complexities of the “Ready-to-Eat” supply chain. Costco and Taylor Farms typically act quickly to pull products from shelves once a positive test is confirmed.

The St. Pierre Mini Beignet Recall (Item #1181272)

This recall involves the Mini Beignets Filled with Caramel, a popular bakery item that has been flagged for a serious labeling error.

How to Identify the Affected Batch

• Brand: St. Pierre (Imported)

• Item Number: #1181272

• Visual Check: The beignets are small, powdered-sugar-dusted pastries. The recall specifically concerns boxes labeled as “Caramel” that may actually contain “Hazelnut” filling.

• Lot Codes: Check the back of the box for specific lot codes and “Best If Used By” dates extending through the spring of 2026.

The Hidden Danger: Undeclared Hazelnut

For most people, eating a hazelnut beignet instead of a caramel one is a minor surprise. However, for those with a Tree Nut Allergy, this is a life-threatening “undeclared allergen” situation.

• Anaphylaxis Risk: Hazelnut allergies can cause rapid-onset anaphylaxis, which requires immediate treatment with an EpiPen and a trip to the ER.

• Cross-Contamination: Even if you think you see caramel, if the box contains both types, the caramel beignets are considered contaminated by the hazelnut dust/filling.

Who to Call for Information

For specific questions regarding the Beignet recall, consumers are encouraged to contact Euro pastry (the parent manufacturer) directly at their customer service line or via their website’s “Product Safety” portal. You can also contact Costco Member Services at 1-800-774-2678.

Matrix T1 and T3 Treadmill Fire Hazard

Unlike food recalls, this equipment recall involves long-term hardware safety.

Identifying Your Machine

Check the serial number plate located near the power switch at the base of the treadmill.

• Model T1: Item #1506503, #1608175

• Model T3: Item #1711813, #1711814, #1776952, #1777236

• Visual Warning Signs: If you notice a “burnt” smell, flickering console lights, or if the area around the power cord feels excessively hot to the touch, stop use immediately.

The Manufacturer: Johnson Health Tech

The manufacturer, Johnson Health Tech, is the parent company of Matrix. They have a long history in the fitness industry. This specific recall was issued because the power cord could become loose or frayed internally, leading to an electrical arc and fire.

• Past History: This manufacturer has previously dealt with minor sensor recalls, but a fire hazard of this scale is a significant event for the brand.

---

Following is a list of recent and past Costco recalls from 2025 and 2026, compiled from official notices, news reports, and community alerts.
