41nbc Recall Watch List

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) –Several popular household products are being pulled from shelves this week due to safety concerns ranging from undeclared allergens to burn risks. Whether you’re stocking up your fridge, or cleaning your kitchen, here are the latest recalls you should know about—including Walmart cottage cheese, Gourmia pressure cookers, Savannah Bee Company’s Honey BBQ Sauce, and Dupray steam cleaners. Read on for the details and find out how to check if you have one of these recalled products at home.

Walmart Cottage Cheese Recall: Check Your Fridge

Walmart is recalling three types of its “Great Value” brand cottage cheese in about two dozen states. The reason? They might not have been pasteurized properly.

According to the FDA, the manufacturer—Saputo Cheese USA—found the problem while running what they called “pasteurizer troubleshooting exercises.” Saputo then voluntarily issued the recall. The affected cottage cheese was sold between February 17th and 20th in Walmart stores and distribution centers across states like Georgia, Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, California, Texas, and more.

If you have any of these products, don’t eat them—just bring them back to Walmart for a refund. The FDA says there have been no reports of illness or hospitalization connected to the recall so far.

Pressure Cooker Recall: Burn Risk Prompts Warning

More than 40,000 pressure cookers are under warning from the Consumer Product Safety Commission due to a potential burn risk.

The affected product is the Gourmia six-quart pressure cooker, which was sold from 2017 to 2020 at Best Buy, other retailers, and online. Officials say the lid can open while the cooker is still pressurized, letting hot food spray out and potentially cause second-degree burns.

There have already been five reports of burns—four of them severe—and at least two lawsuits. The warning also points out that the float valve is hard to see, which could make it easy to open the lid when the cooker is still under pressure. Plus, the inner pot has incorrect volume markings, so people might accidentally overfill it. That could lead to hot food or liquids being ejected when the cooker is vented or under pressure.

Owners are urged to stop using the cookers and dispose of them immediately. Don’t try to sell or give the cooker away. The CPSC says Gourmia and Best Buy have “refused to agree to an acceptable recall to address this hazard.” Gourmia says the product is safe when used as directed and that they stopped selling the model six years ago. Best Buy says they learned about the issue six years ago, alerted the CPSC, and stopped selling the cooker.

 

Savannah Bee Honey BBQ Sauce Recall: Undeclared Allergens Trigger Warning

If you or someone you know has food allergies, this is important: Savannah Bee Company is recalling its Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard because it contains wheat and soy that aren’t listed on the label. For anyone allergic to wheat or soy, eating this sauce could cause a serious or even life-threatening reaction.

The sauce was shipped all over the country between July 30 of last year and February 26 of this year. It comes in a clear glass bottle with an orange “Honey BBQ Sauce Mustard” label.

The recall began after a customer noticed that some Honey BBQ Sauce-Sweet was mislabeled as Honey BBQ Sauce-Mustard. Those mislabeled jars didn’t list wheat and soy as ingredients, even though they’re actually in the sauce.

The good news is that no illnesses have been reported so far. If you have any of these jars at home, throw them out right away to stay safe.

 

Dupray Steam Cleaner Recall: Burn Hazard Alert

Spring cleaning is around the corner—and if you use a Dupray Neat Steam Cleaner, listen up: the company is recalling their portable cleaners because they could cause burns or serious injuries.

These steam cleaners are used for cleaning and sanitizing all kinds of household surfaces and come with accessories like brushes, a Velcro pad, and dust cloths. If you have one of these cleaners, stop using it right away. Go to dupray.com for instructions on how to get a free replacement safety boiler cap.

So far, there have been 15 reports of the boiler rupturing. Four people ended up with minor burns, bruises, cuts, or even a broken wrist, and at least seven people had minor property damage. The steam cleaners were sold online at dupray.com and at stores like Home Depot, Lowe’s, Macy’s, Walmart, Amazon, and others from April 2018 through December 2025.

Check the bottom of your device for Model Number DUP020WNA and batch codes between 0118-01 and 0425-05 to see if your steam cleaner is part of the recall.
