Recall information for parents
Are you children playing with a toy that has been recalled? If they are, and it has, do you know why? If you wanted to check, where would you look? I’ve got that information for you here today, along with a short listing of some recent product recalls direct from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. I think this is important information for parents, especially in this “on the go” world we have, where information about a recalled easy-bake oven might be easy to overlook. It doesn’t hurt to keep an eye on this information and check the sites from time to time, just to be on the safe side.
- To check for recalled child and infant products, look here: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/child.html
- To check for recalled toys, look here: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/toy.html
I think it’s wise to check these lists once a week, maybe every Monday, to see what’s new on the list and make sure it’s not a product that you yourself are using at home. The website gives you all the information on the recall that you need, including why it has been recalled and what you should do with the product or toy if you happen to have it.
And here is a small listing of some recent recalls in both gear and toy categories:
- Remote Control Airplanes
- Pottery Barn Kids Crib Bumpers
- Easy-Bake Ovens
- Playskool Sippy Cups
- Children’s Earrings Sold at Wal-Mart Stores in Florida
- “Soldier Bear” Toy Sets
- Children’s Clog Shoes
- Mag Stix Magnetic Building Sets
