French Broad Chocolates recalls Bonbon Collection for allergen hazard
Chocolate lovers, French Broad Chocolates is recalling Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collection because some boxes may contain undeclared walnuts. This poses a danger to anyone with a walnut allergy.

The chocolates were sold nationwide—including in Georgia—between April 14 and April 20, 2026. Return them for a full refund or throw them out.
Lil Pick Up Youth ATVs recalled after child’s death
Parents, the CPSC and Lil Pick Up Inc. are recalling the Rex110 and Sierra110 youth ATVs because they fail to meet speed limits for children, may have faulty suspensions and throttles, and have footwells that can overheat—posing crash, burn, and even fatality risks. Tragically, a 6-year-old died in a Rex110 ATV crash last year. Stop using these ATVs now and contact Lil Pick Up for a refund; the company is offering free pickup and transportation.

Before your child’s next playtime, check if you own the Big Red Barn Farm Animal Playset.

Autobrush Sonic Pro Kids Toothbrush boxes recalled for battery danger
Finally, Autobrush is recalling its Sonic Pro Kids toothbrush delivery boxes.

Dispose of it safely—never in regular trash—and use local hazardous waste disposal or recycling.
