Product Hazards & Recalls
Thousands of children’s products are manufactured and used by consumers each year. When a product is being sold on the market and then found to be dangerous the government and manufacturer can recall the product or withdraw it from the market. Each year many consumer products are recalled or deemed unsafe.

Companies are not required to test most children’s products for safety before they are sold. This means that many dangerous products make it onto the market and into our homes. If a product is recalled it will be immediately removed from store shelves. However, when buying a used baby product or accepting a hand-me-down product from a friend or family member, check with the CPSC to make sure it hasn't been recalled.
