It can be exhausting trying to keep up with it, but unfortunately it needs to be done to keep our kids safe from toxic and dangerous toys and other items.
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Maclaren USA, Inc., of South Norwalk, Conn., is voluntarily recalling about one million Maclaren strollers, sold prior to November 2009 (this product was recalled in November 2009). The stroller's hinge mechanism poses a fingertip amputation and laceration hazard to the child when the consumer is unfolding/opening the stroller.
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, UJ Trading, of Houston, Texas, is voluntarily recalling about 18,500 Danbar Knight Hawk Toy Helicopters. The battery housing under the helicopter canopy can overheat while charging, posing a fire hazard.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns consumers that some "metoo" clip-on table top chairs, imported by phil&teds USA Inc., of Fort Collins, Colo. put young children at risk of serious injury due to multiple safety hazards. CPSC is urging consumers to stop using some metoo clip-on chairs immediately.
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, G.A. Gertmenian and Sons, LLC, of Los Angeles, is voluntarily recalling about 600 Toy Story 3 bowling games.

I like that there are websites such as this to help prevent injury to our children. I wish tho that they were my widely advertised. Consumers often purchase products without looking into them.
