EKO Recalls Motion Sensor Trash Cans Sold Exclusively at Costco Due to Laceration Hazard (Recall Alert)

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The black plastic protective collar in the opening on the back of the trash receptacle can become dislodged and expose a sharp edge, posing a risk of laceration to the user.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled trash cans and return them to Costco for a full refund or contact EKO for a free repair kit with a redesigned black plastic protective collar and installation instructions. Costco is notifying consumers who purchased the trash cans directly.
