Toy and Children’s Products Recall Finder
For parents who want to know whether their children's toys, clothing, furniture and gear are safe, Parent's Magazine offers an online recall finder, which allows parents to search for product recalls by product name, brand or model number; category (e.g., car seats; cribs, beds & furniture); and by timeframe (e.g., last six months). There's also links to recent recalls (example: the Timberland children's boot recall: the logo stamped onto the boots' insoles contains excessive levels of lead).
The recall summaries provide helpful information about each recall: date, category, company/brand, the danger, description of the scope of the recall, where the product was sold, what to do, and where to obtain further information.
