Safety tips
Obviously, this
is not the only recall out there related to baby products. Just since the
writing of this post many other products have been recalled. So how do you keep
up with it all? Try the following tips:
- Register the products that you buy so that the company can contact you if there is a recall. Many products come with registration cards and/or have online registration.
- Sign up for regular emails about product recall and safety information from the CPSC at https://www.cpsc.gov/cpsclist.aspx.
- Report unsafe products or incidents to the CPSC on their website.
- When buying used products, check for safety recalls on the CPSC website before using with your baby.
- Follow the use instructions and never use products in ways they were not intended.
- Keep you baby close by.
