Costco shoppers should check their refrigerators, freezers, garages and kitchen appliances after several recent recalls and product safety alerts.
The notices include everything from fresh jalapeño peppers and frozen foods to an electric kettle, cooler, toaster oven and space heater. Some affect all U.S. Costco locations, while others are limited to certain warehouses or regions.
That distinction is important. Seeing a product on a recall list doesn’t automatically mean the one in your home is affected. Costco item numbers, purchase dates, production dates and model numbers can help determine whether your product is included.
Here are seven Costco recalls and safety alerts shoppers should know about.
1. Jalapeño Peppers
Costco shoppers who purchased 5-pound packages of Jalapeño Peppers, item #514606, should check where and when they bought them.
The affected peppers were purchased between July 13 and August 5, 2026, from the Dallas and/or Stafford Costco Business Center in Texas.
Hardie’s issued a voluntary recall in cooperation with the FDA after jalapeños supplied by Coast Tropical were identified as potentially contaminated with Salmonella.
Costco’s member notice instructed customers who still have the affected peppers to not eat it and return them to Costco for a full refund.
Salmonella can cause symptoms including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, and some infections can become serious.
The notice does not mean every jalapeño sold at Costco is affected. The Costco notice specifically identifies item #514606 purchased at the Dallas or Stafford Business Center from July 13 through August 5, 2026.
2. Red’s Steak, Cilantro & Lime Burritos
Costco shoppers in parts of the Midwest should check their freezers for Red’s Steak, Cilantro & Lime Burritos, Costco item #1375342.
Unlike some of the other products on this list, this is a USDA public health alert rather than a recall.
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the alert on July 29, 2026, because certain packages may contain an undeclared egg allergen.
The affected 10-count, 3-pound 2-ounce cartons were produced on June 19, 2026 and were shipped to Costco distribution locations in Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.
The problem was discovered after a consumer reported that a package labeled as Steak, Cilantro & Lime Burritos contained a different product. The incorrectly packaged product contains egg, but egg isn’t declared on the Steak, Cilantro & Lime Burrito label.
That’s potentially dangerous for anyone with an egg allergy.
The USDA issued a public health alert rather than requesting a recall because the affected product was no longer available for purchase when the problem was discovered. However, shoppers may still have the burritos in their freezers.
Affected cartons can also be identified by establishment number EST. 46069 and the production information on the package.
3. Panasonic Electric Toaster Oven
Costco shoppers should also check for the Panasonic Electric Toaster Oven, Costco item #2024930, model NB-G200.
Costco lists the product in its recalls and product notices for all U.S. locations.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on July 16, 2026 because of a potential electrical safety problem.
According to the CPSC, the insulation on the power cord may be insufficient because a protective fiberglass sleeve may not adequately cover it. That creates a potential electric shock and fire hazard.
The affected Panasonic toaster ovens were sold online at Costco.com and other retailers from October 2024 through April 2026.
About 11,480 units were sold in the United States.
Panasonic received four reports involving tripped circuit breakers or outlets and one report of the toaster oven no longer working. At the time of the recall announcement, no fires or injuries had been reported.
Consumers with the recalled toaster oven should stop using it immediately and contact Panasonic for a full refund.
4. Titan Pro 40 Can Soft Sided Iceless Collapsible Cooler
Another current Costco recall involves the Titan Pro 40 Can Soft Sided Iceless Collapsible Cooler, Costco item #1872184.
Costco currently lists the cooler as a recall affecting all U.S. locations.
This is important because Costco currently sells other Titan Pro coolers with different item numbers. Shoppers shouldn’t assume that every Titan cooler is included simply because it looks similar.
The Costco recall specifically identifies item #1872184.
If you have a Titan Pro cooler at home, check the Costco item number from your purchase records or product information before determining whether yours is affected.
Because Costco’s recall list can be updated as additional information becomes available, shoppers with item #1872184 should follow the instructions in Costco’s official recall notice rather than continuing to use the cooler.
5. Zwilling Enfinigy Electric Kettles
Costco shoppers who own a Zwilling electric kettle should check the model and Costco item number carefully.
The recall includes the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro Electric Kettle, Costco item #1591990, sold at U.S. Costco locations. Costco also lists the Zwilling Enfinigy Electric Kettle Pro Set in Silver, item #1773073, and Black, item #1773101, sold through Costco Next.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on May 14, 2026.
The problem involves the kettle’s handle, which can loosen or separate from the kettle. If that happens while the kettle contains hot water, the contents can spill and cause serious burns.
The CPSC says about 113,440 kettles were recalled in the United States. Zwilling received 163 reports of handles separating or loosening, including five incidents and one reported second-degree burn.
The recall covers Zwilling Enfinigy 1.5-liter and Enfinigy Pro 1.5-liter electric kettles in several colors.
Affected model numbers include 53101-200, 53101-201, 53101-500, 53101-501, 53101-502, 53101-503 and 53101-504. The model number can be found on the bottom of the kettle and power base.
The affected kettles covered by the broader CPSC recall were sold from December 2019 through February 2026.
Consumers should stop using recalled kettles immediately and follow Zwilling’s instructions for receiving a full refund.
6. Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread
If you have Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread sitting in your freezer, check the package before eating it.
The recall involves Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread, Costco item #1453434.
Champion Foods announced the voluntary recall on May 29, 2026, because certain batches have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
The issue was connected to a recall involving milk powder from California Dairies. That milk powder was supplied to another manufacturer that makes a seasoning blend used in the five-cheese sauce blend.
For Costco shoppers, affected purchases were made between February 6 and May 29, 2026.
The recall applies to specific sell-by dates, including February 3, February 4, February 24, February 25, March 10, March 11, March 18 and March 25, 2027.
The sell-by code is printed in black ink on the front of the box.
Costco identifies item #1453434 as affecting the Midwest, Northwest and San Diego regions.
Customers with an affected package should not consume it and can return it to Costco for a refund.
7. Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater
This recall is a good reminder that shoppers should check older Costco purchases too.
The Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater, Costco item #1002889, was recalled because it can potentially overheat and pose a fire hazard.
Costco sent its member recall letter on June 4, 2026.
According to Costco’s notice, its records showed affected members purchased item #1002889 between August 2013 and January 2017.
The problem involves the heater’s fan blade, which can detach from the motor shaft. If the fan stops operating, the heater can overheat and internal components can melt. Under certain circumstances, those components could ignite and create a fire hazard.
The recalled Costco model is the Vornado SRTH Black, item #1002889, UPC 043765008478.
This one is especially easy to overlook because some Costco members may have purchased the heater more than a decade ago.
Anyone who still has the recalled heater should stop using it immediately. Costco currently lists item #1002889 as a recall affecting all U.S. locations.
Why Costco Shoppers Should Check Item Numbers and Dates
One of the biggest mistakes shoppers can make with recalls is looking only at the product name.
A recall may apply to a very specific version of a product.
For example, the jalapeño recall covers item #514606 purchased from July 13 through August 5, 2026, at two Costco Business Centers in Texas.
The Red’s alert involves item #1375342, with affected burritos produced June 19, 2026.
The Panasonic toaster oven is item #2024930, model NB-G200, with affected products sold from October 2024 through April 2026.
The Titan Pro cooler recall specifically identifies item #1872184.
For Zwilling, Costco lists item #1591990 along with Costco Next items #1773073 and #1773101, while the broader CPSC recall covers kettles sold from December 2019 through February 2026.
Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread is item #1453434, with affected Costco purchases made between February 6 and May 29, 2026 and only certain sell-by dates included.
And the Vornado heater is item #1002889, with Costco purchases dating all the way back to August 2013 through January 2017.
Those details matter because another package, model or production run of the same brand may not be affected.
Costco Purchase History Can Help
Costco has an advantage when it comes to recalls because purchases can be associated with a membership account.
That allows Costco to contact members when its records indicate that they or an add-on member purchased an affected item.
Still, shoppers shouldn’t rely entirely on receiving an email or letter.
Frozen foods can stay in the freezer for months. Coolers may sit in the garage between summers. Appliances such as electric kettles, toaster ovens and heaters can remain in a home for years.
That’s why it is worth periodically checking Costco’s official recall and product notice page, especially if you see a product you recognize.
What to Do If You Have One of These Costco Products
Start by comparing the product in your home with the information in the official recall or safety alert.
Check the Costco item number, model number, UPC, production date, lot code, sell-by date and purchase period, depending on the product.
Also pay attention to the affected Costco regions or warehouse locations.
If your product matches a recall, stop consuming or using it and follow the instructions from Costco or the manufacturer.
For food recalls involving possible bacterial contamination, don’t assume something is safe simply because it looks or smells normal.
For appliances affected by fire, electrical or burn hazards, stop using the affected product and follow the recall instructions.
Costco maintains its current U.S. recalls and product notices on its official recall page. Because notices can be updated, shoppers should check the official Costco recall information for the latest details before deciding whether a product they own is affected.
