Holiday 2025 Fulginiti Law Field Report

Holiday 2025 Edition

Keeping Pennsylvania families safe from dangerous products

As families get ready for the holidays, the last thing anyone expects is that everyday products—formula, power banks, and cookie dough—could send a loved one to the emergency room. Yet the final weeks of 2025 have brought some of the most serious recalls of the year, including hazards that impact infants, holiday travelers, and home kitchens.

Here is what you need to know right now, and we will keep this updated through the holiday season.

ByHeart Infant Formula

Issue: Multiple lots of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula have been recalled after being linked to a nationwide infant botulism outbreak.

Hazard: Botulism is a rare but life-threatening illness that can cause paralysis and respiratory failure in infants. More than 50 babies across 19 states were hospitalized. Compounding the risk, federal investigators found that some major retailers failed to remove recalled formula from store shelves promptly.

Remedy: Stop using the product immediately. Check the FDA recall announcement for affected lot numbers. Contact the manufacturer for refund or replacement instructions. If your child shows symptoms such as poor feeding, weak cry, or constipation, seek emergency medical care.

INIU BI-B41 Portable Power Banks

Issue: Over 210,000 INIU BI-B41 power banks sold on Amazon have been recalled due to defective lithium-ion batteries.

Hazard: The batteries can overheat, ignite, or explode, causing fires and serious burn injuries. Several incidents have already resulted in home damage and personal injury. These devices can fail while charging, during travel, or even while stored.

Remedy: Immediately stop using the power bank. Visit the recall site to validate your model and serial number. Consumers are eligible for a refund or replacement. Never dispose of lithium-ion batteries in household trash — follow local hazardous-waste guidance.

Doughy Brand Cookie Dough

Issue: Doughy cookie dough products distributed across 15 states were recalled after testing indicated potential Salmonella contamination.

Hazard: Salmonella can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, dehydration, and in vulnerable populations, life-threatening complications. The FDA designated this a Class I recall, meaning the risk of serious harm is substantial.

Remedy: Do not bake, taste, or consume any affected dough. Throw it away or return it to the store for a refund. Clean surfaces and utensils that may have contacted the product. Watch for symptoms such as fever, abdominal cramps, and vomiting.
