Costco Has Recalled These 14 Items in the Last 4 Months

Even a store as beloved as Costco can have some issues with products on its shelves.

In recent months, several items sold at Costco have been recalled. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t shop there: Costco can be a great place to save on everyday essentials and more.

But you should also be aware of these recalls. Check the list and make sure you haven’t bought any of these things in the past four months.

Costco’s Kirkland Signature Chicken Tortilla Soup was recently recalled for having gluten, even though it was advertised as gluten-free. This could be an issue for customers with gluten tolerance issues.

Costco sold both a single and two-pack version of Ubio Labs 10,000mAh Slim Power Banks. Unfortunately, the power bank’s lithium-ion battery could ignite. 

Customers are recommended to stop using the power bank immediately due to the fire hazard.

If you recently added the Coddle Aria Fabric Sleeper Sectional to your home or another space, a recall might affect you.

The sectional’s wheels for the pullout sleeper might have been damaged during transit. If so, the manufacturer will provide a replacement if you contact them.

Recalls can happen even after a long time. One example is a recall of Bose Acoustimass, Lifestyle, and Companion home theater systems.

Bose bass modules made before April 2006 could fail and cause a fire. Customers are urged to unplug the module from an electrical outlet immediately.

Check your cabinets for Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides with a blue lid. Vital Proteins says there could be broken pieces from the lid inside the product and is voluntarily recalling it to keep customers safe.

The Willamette Valley Fruit Co. is recalling its smoothie blend due to possible contamination of the strawberries inside.

The strawberries came from a supplier where hepatitis A contamination was found, so the company is recalling the product even though no virus was found in their product.

Wawona Frozen Foods Organic Daybreak Blend of frozen fruit is subject to a recall. The strawberries may have an issue with potential hepatitis A contamination, so the blend is being recalled.

Costco announced issues with Michelin Agilis CrossClimate commercial (C-Metric) tires. Set up an appointment to inspect your tires at Costco to see if they are part of the recall and how you can fix the issue at no cost.

Another Kirkland Signature item was recalled for a potential listeria contamination. Kirkland Signature Master Carve Half Ham sold from Sept. 26-29 can be returned to Costco for a refund.

Orgain Organic Protein & Superfoods Powder — Creamy Chocolate Fudge with Probiotics was recalled due to the product containing sesame.

Sesame is an allergen, and the product didn’t include a label warning users about the inclusion of sesame.

The Rainbow Road Book Box includes four books being recalled due to a possible choking hazard from the plastic ring binding.

The books include “Things That Go!,” “Dinosaur’s First Words,” “Unicorn’s Colors,” and “Animal Counting.”

The 32-ounce version of Culinary Treasures Organic Chicken Bone Broth is being recalled due to microbial contamination. The contamination could cause the product to spoil before its expiration date.

Mattresses made with the Novaform label might have been exposed to water during the manufacturing process, which can cause dampness and potential mold in the mattress.

Check the tag of your mattress to see if it was one of the mattresses made in the plant that’s part of the Novaform recall. 

These include beds manufactured in San Bernardino, California, during the following periods:

• ComfortGrande: Jan. 2 to April 30, 2023
• DreamAway: Jan. 30 to April 30, 2023

Costco members on the East Coast might want to review their Safeway Fresh Foods Organic Butternut Squash, which is being recalled due to the detection of E. coli in one sample of the product.

The recall affects products sold in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

So, what happens if you have a product on this list? You can go to the Costco website and look up your recall and the instructions for your next steps.

One of the best Costco hacks is that you can try out a product and return it easily with the retailer's generous return policy. You can just return any of these recalled items to Costco, even without a receipt.
