Recalls 2024: Latest product list includes power adapters, cinnamon, frozen dumplings and more

At least a dozen major recalls have been announced in the last six weeks.

Product recalls are becoming more common in the U.S.: The number of recalled products reached a five-year high last year, according to a recent report, with around 3,300 recalls reported across the automotive, consumer product, food and drink, medical device and pharmaceutical industries.

Companies generally issue voluntary recalls after they learn that a batch of products has been contaminated or poses a safety risk. For consumers, it can be difficult to keep track of the various recalls issued on popular products — and determine whether any items you bought are affected. 

The list below rounds up some of the biggest recalls affecting the public right now.

Yamaha Corporation of America, best known for manufacturing musical instruments, initiated a recall on Thursday of more than 34,000 power adapters because of a risk that the product could shock or electrocute users.

According to an announcement posted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recall applies to Yamaha PA-10 AC power adapters sold between June 2021 and November 2023. A crack between the adapter’s upper and lower cases can expose electrical wiring, though no injuries have been reported.
