CPSC Recalls Walmart Stove and Children's Helmets

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recalls for two popular Walmart products on Wednesday, urging consumers to immediately stop using an Ozark Trail camping stove and Outdoor Master children's helmets due to serious safety risks. The recalls affect approximately 201,000 stoves sold nationwide from March 2023 through October 2025 and about 24,300 helmets sold online from June 2024 through February 2025.

The Ozark Trail Tabletop 1-Burner Butane Camping Stove, model number BG2247A1, poses a burn and fire hazard because it can explode or catch fire during use. Manufactured by China Window Industry Co., Ltd., of Taipei, Taiwan, the dark green stoves feature an orange Ozark Trail logo on the front and were sold at Walmart stores and online at Walmart.com for $8 to $45. The model number appears on a gray label inside the fuel compartment. The manufacturer reported 26 incidents of explosions or fires, including 16 injuries such as second-degree burns, prompting the recall. No deaths have been linked to the product.

Walmart is offering a full refund for the stoves at any of its retail stores. Consumers with questions can contact Walmart customer service at 800-925-6278...
