Amazon removed dozens of products from its online store this month after the items were recalled.

More than 50 products were subject to recall notices in June, with the online marketplace revealing the details of each on its website. Shoppers were informed about a range of issues, including undeclared allergens in food products, faulty medical devices, fire-risk mattresses, and potentially hazardous children's furniture.

None of the items were made by Amazon, but they were available via its website until the retailer became aware of the recalls. Amazon subsequently contacted its affected customers and publicized the recalls on its website, saying it "proactively investigates" the products it helps sell.

Why It Matters

Recalls are issued when concerns arise that a product is defective or potentially harmful in some way, such as when testing reveals that foods are contaminated with potentially deadly bacteria or have been infected with a foreign object during the manufacturing process.

Products across all industries are subject to recalls, from cars to cocktails. And big-name retailers that stock other brands' products, such as Target, often publicize the details of ongoing recalls on their own websites.

Amazon has also published dozens of recall notices this month. Among the items being recalled were approximately 100,000 Crayan brand mattresses, which were sold exclusively by the Chinese brand on Amazon from July 2022 to June 2024 and have now been deemed a fire risk because they don't meet federal safety standards.
