5 Costco Recalls to Be Aware of Right Now

At EatingWell, we’re often covering recalls that are most relevant to our readers. And recently, Costco has had quite a few recalls that you should be aware of. From shelf-stable ingredients to appliances, here are five recalls to check your kitchen for.

Canned Tuna

Multiple brands of canned tuna were recalled earlier this month, including Genova. The recalled six-pack of Genova’s 7-ounce Yellowfish Tuna in Olive Oil was sold at Costco warehouses in Florida and Georgia. The tuna has a UPC of 4800063267 and one of the following best-by dates: 1/21/2028, 1/23/2028 or 1/27/2028.

Check your pantry, and if you have the recalled canned tuna on hand, dispose of it or return it for a refund. The tuna is being recalled due to a manufacturing defect that may compromise the products’ seal. This can allow bacteria like Clostridium botulinum to enter and grow inside the can, which can cause botulism, a foodborne illness. 

Symptoms of botulism may include bloating, constipation, muscle weakness, double vision, dizziness, trouble speaking or swallowing and difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention if you are experiencing these signs after eating the recalled tuna.

Cold & Flu Medicine

Costco recalled their Kirkland Signature Severe Cold & Flu Plus Congestion tablets sold at Midwest and Southeast warehouse locations. This is due to a possible foreign matter contamination, however it is unclear on what the specifics of this contamination are.

The impacted packages have a printed lot code of P140082. While the recalled medicine was only sold between October 30 and November 30, 2024, it is a shelf-stable product and may still be in consumers’ cabinets. Be sure to check your cold and flu medicine for the recalled code, and return to your local Costco if it matches. For questions about this recall, call 1-800-426-9391 or email complaints-inquiries@lnkintl.com.

Igloo Coolers

Over one million coolers sold at Costco, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Target and other retailers nationwide were recently recalled. The coolers affected are the Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers sold in various colors. The dates of manufacture printed on the bottom of the cooler range from 08/2018 through 12/2023, and the coolers were sold from January 2019 through January 2025.

This recall follows 12 reports of injuries from the tow handles pinching fingertips against the cooler. This has resulted in fingertip amputations, bone fractures and lacerations. If you have one of the recalled coolers, contact Igloo to request a repair kit. You can request a kit by calling Igloo toll-free at 888-943-5182 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST Monday through Friday or emailing igloo90qt@sedgwick.com.

Ovens

LG-branded ovens sold at Costco as well as Best Buy, The Home Depot, Lowe’s and other appliance stores are recalled due to a fire hazard. The ovens impacted by this recall contain a Slide-In and Freestanding Electric Range and were sold from 2015 through January 2025.

The recalled ovens contain one of the following model numbers printed inside the oven’s door or storage drawer: LDE4411ST, LDE4413ST, LDE4413BD, LSE4611ST, LSE4611BD, LSE4613ST, LSE4613BD, LSEL6337D, LSEL6337F, LSEL6331F, LSEL6333F, LSEL6333D, LSEL6335D, LSEL6335F, LTE4815BM, LTE4815BD, LTE4815ST, LRE4215ST or LTEL7337F.

This recall follows about 86 reports of accidental contact of the knobs by humans or pets that caused unintentional activation. This poses a fire hazard and has resulted in property damage, injuries and animal deaths. Check your oven, and if it matches the recall information, contact the company for a free warning sticker and instructions on how to use the control lock on your oven range. Do this by contacting LG at 800-399-3265 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or emailing lgrange.recall@lge.com.

Protein Bars

In December, Costco recalled a variety pack of protein bars, but consumers may still have them on hand. The NuGo protein bars being recalled come in an 18-count variety pack and contain two flavors: Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Pretzel.

They were sold from October 2 through November 20, 2024, at Costco locations in the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Vermont. However, they have best-by dates of December 22 or December 23, 2025, so they could still be in customers’ kitchens.

Check your snack drawer, as these recalled protein bars may contain dairy, even though the bars are marketed to be vegan. Those with dairy intolerance or allergies may experience a reaction after consuming one of these protein bars. In serious cases, this can include anaphylaxis, causing symptoms like hives, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, tightness of the throat or cardiac arrest. Call 911 immediately if you are showing signs of anaphylactic shock.
