Recent Baby Product Recalls Every Parent Should Be Aware Of
Each year, there’s an overwhelming number of baby product recalls — which means items are removed from the shelves when the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and various companies deem them somehow unsafe. This could be for any number of reasons. The product may have a piece that’s a choking hazard, it may be known to break, or it may not meet certain federal safety standards.
What you may not know is that a manufacturer has to agree to a recall in order for it to happen. The CPSC can issue product warnings at any stage, but they can’t announce a recall until the brand agrees that the product is unsafe and that they should stop making it.
It’s important to note that just because a baby product recall happens doesn’t mean that all that company’s products are unsafe, or that the brand as a whole is untrustworthy. It doesn’t even mean all the versions of that product are unsafe. Sometimes it’s just that whichever products were produced in a certain time frame can be faulty. Even brands we love can create a product that doesn’t work out — it just happens!
A recall also doesn’t mean there have been reports of injuries or fatalities (thankfully!). Instead, they are done out of an abundance of caution. And for that, we tip our hats to companies and the CPSC who step in early.
Unfortunately, not all recalled products make headlines. And so we’ve collected all the baby products that have recently been recalled so parents and caregivers can easily access them in one place. Of course, consumers can also always check cpsc.gov/recalls for the latest information on product recalls across categories and for every age group.
Before shopping, parents and caregivers can (and should) always check saferproducts.gov, where consumers can report any safety concerns about specific products. Because even though that car seat you’ve been eyeing hasn’t been recalled, people may have had their own issues. (Psst! You can also file your own reports!)
Below are the latest baby product recalls (newest first), including strollers, baby monitors, high chairs, stuffed animals, and more.
