1.6 million eggs recalled over Salmonella risk, sold at Kroger and Brookshire's

The FDA's July 22 recall covers 1,589,577 dozen eggs from two Texas farms with sell-by dates running through Aug 17, so check cartons for plant code P-1950 or 840962. Plus BMW recalls 318,495 vehicles over a starter fire risk, Taylor Farms shuts its Mexico plant as Michigan cyclospora hits 7,664, and two fabric dressers are pulled over tip-over hazards.

The recall most likely to be sitting in your refrigerator right now is a big one, and it is brand-new. On July 22 the FDA posted a voluntary recall from Midwest Poultry Services, one of the country's largest egg producers, covering 1,589,577 dozen white-shell and brown cage-free eggs because they have "the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis" (FDA recall notice, July 22; Food Safety News).

The eggs were produced and distributed from two farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3, with sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17, 2026. That window means many of these cartons are still in homes, and some are still on shelves within their dated window. They were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and reached consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana and Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Mississippi, plus smaller retail outlets. They sold under several names: Kroger, Brookshire's, Country Morning, Simple Truth, Sunups, and various bulk Grade A and Grade AA eggs (USA Today, July 23).

How to check your carton: find the code printed in date-coding ink on the left or right side. The recalled eggs bear plant code P-1950 or 840962 and a Julian date between 157 and 184. If both match, do not eat them. The company found the problem through routine environmental monitoring at its two Texas farms and has stopped distributing fresh eggs from those farms. No illnesses had been reported as of the July 22 announcement. Return the eggs to the place of purchase for a full refund, or call Midwest Poultry Services at 574-405-9531.

Taylor Farms shuts its Mexico plant as cyclospora keeps climbing

The parasite outbreak you have been reading about all week is not slowing down, and the company at its center just took a step it had resisted. Taylor Farms has temporarily shut down the central Mexico processing facility in Doctor Mora, Guanajuato, that U.S. health officials linked to the outbreak, an industry source told Reuters on Thursday July 23 (KSL/Reuters, July 23). That plant produces the 5-pound bags of shredded iceberg lettuce sold to Taco Bell, Sysco, and other distributors that Taylor Farms voluntarily recalled on July 17.

The numbers moved hard this week. Michigan, the hardest-hit state, is now reporting 7,664 cyclosporiasis cases as of July 23, up 493 in a single day and up 1,093 from the 6,571 we reported Tuesday. Hospitalizations there rose to 160, up from 102 a week earlier (Michigan MDHHS; CBS Detroit, July 23). The CDC, whose tally had been frozen at 1,644 since July 14, now says more than 4,173 confirmed cases across 41 states with 308 hospitalizations, and is reviewing more than 7,400 additional reported infections that have not yet been lab-confirmed (Food Safety News, July 23).

The practical advice for your kitchen has not changed since the false-positive reversal we covered last Sunday. There is still no lab-confirmed positive product sample (the FDA retracted its July 18 positive test as a false positive on July 19), but the recall stands on epidemiological and traceback evidence. If you have Walmart Marketside Iceberg Salad or Shredded Lettuce with a "Best if Used By" date of July 18 through August 3, do not eat it: bring it back to Walmart for a full refund at 1-800-925-6278. Washing does not remove Cyclospora, which is embedded in the leaf tissue. Taylor Farms customer care is at 855-455-0098. Mexico's health minister still says there is no evidence the outbreak originated at the Guanajuato facility.

BMW recalls 318,495 vehicles over a starter fire risk, the latest in a year of starter fixes

If you drive a recent four-cylinder BMW, this is the recall to check today. BMW of North America is recalling 318,495 vehicles because an internal starter component can wear prematurely, and in rare cases a degraded starter can generate enough heat to ignite a fire when you try to start the car (BMW Blog, July 23; USA Today, July 23).

The BMW X3 accounts for the bulk of it: 210,748 units from the 2021-2024 model years. The recall also covers the 2023-2024 3 Series (32,094), 2021-2025 X4 (26,866), 2021-2023 5 Series (11,991), 2022-2025 2 Series Coupe (11,479), 2023-2024 4 Series Gran Coupe (9,552) and Convertible (8,048), 2023-2024 4 Series Coupe (5,270), 2022-2026 Z4 (2,177), and 270 units of the 2023-2024 Toyota Supra, which shares the Z4's platform. BMW estimates fewer than 1% of the outlined vehicles are actually affected and says it is unaware of any accidents or injuries as of July 8.

This is BMW's sixth starter-related recall in under a year, part of a pattern we flagged earlier this month when the company recalled 29,119 plug-in hybrids over a separate water-intrusion starter-relay problem. The earlier waves ran September 2025 (~145,000 vehicles), January 2026 (87,394), and February 2026 (~575,000 globally), each with a slightly different technical cause but the same fire risk. The fix here is the same approach: dealers replace the starter with a redesigned unit, free of charge.

The actionable gap is the timing. BMW notified its dealer network on July 8, so service centers already have the parts and can do the repair now. But owner notification letters do not start mailing until August 28, and NHTSA will not make affected VINs searchable on its site until that same date. If you own one of these models, do not wait for the letter: call your dealer with your VIN and schedule it now. BMW customer service is 1-800-525-7417; Toyota Supra owners call 1-800-331-4331.

Two fabric dressers recalled over tip-over hazards, together about 27,000 units

The CPSC's July 23 batch pulled two fabric dressers that can tip over and trap a child, and both violate the federal STURDY Act stability standard for clothing storage units.

About 16,809 EnHomee 9-Drawer Fabric Dressers are recalled. They are white, brown, gray, or black, with nine fabric drawers on a metal frame, sold on Walmart.com by third-party seller Raybee-Direct from September 2023 through March 2026 for about $80 (orders before March 30 are included). About 10,040 Romorgniz 12-Drawer Fabric Dressers are recalled separately, sold on Amazon from May 2025 through March 2026 for about $90, in white, brown, and black (orders before April 1 are included). Neither company has reported injuries (Fox Business, July 24; CPSC).

If the dresser is not anchored to the wall, stop using it immediately and move it somewhere children cannot reach. For a refund, contact the seller for instructions and submit a photo showing you have disposed of it: Raybee-Direct at RaybeeRecall@outlook.com, or Romorgniz at Romorgnizrecall@outlook.com.

Also posted July 23

CPSC issued a stop-use warning for about 1,425 TRWZINY 12-inch mattresses that violate the mandatory mattress flammability standard and pose a serious fire and death hazard. The seller has not agreed to a recall, so there is no refund: stop using the mattress and dispose of it, and do not sell or give it away (CPSC batch posting, July 23). It is the latest in a long run of Amazon-sold mattress flammability failures this year.

A second pool drain cover recall landed in the same batch: about 670 OeyUoc white pool drain covers sold on Amazon from April through June 2026 for about $18 violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and pose a deadly entrapment and drowning hazard. Stop using the pool, remove and mark the cover "RECALL," photograph it, and email OeyUocChina@163.com for a refund (CPSC). This follows the Sviyatp drain cover recall we reported yesterday.

And about 106 CuddleCubs Creations highchair teething toy sets were recalled over the same pull-string choking hazard as the Sili Factory toy we covered yesterday: the silicone strings can reach the back of a child's throat. Cut the strings, mark the toy "DESTROYED," and email cuddlecubscreation@126.com for a refund (CPSC). That makes five pull-string teething toys pulled this year, nearly all sold on Amazon.
