Latest Product Recalls: Toys, Cribs and Children’s Clothing

Over the past several months, the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has stepped up recalls of unsafe products. So far in February, the commission has issued eleven recalls for pull toys, strollers, drop side cribs, toy guns and jewelry and children’s jackets with drawstrings. All of the recalled products pose significant hazards to the health and safety of children. One company, Schylling Associates, has agreed to pay a $200,000 fine for violating the federal lead paint ban and for failing to make a timely report about the non-compliant toys. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerelfeb10.html
