Protecting Your Children

Protecting Your Children - There have been a number of product recalls lately concerning children that we should update you on. The “Dream On Me” recalls infant swings due to their having a strangulation hazard. This came out October 18, 2012. How does this happen? A child’s body can pass through the opening on the Happy Swing II between the tray and seat or the grab bar and the seat, and then become trapped if the child is not buckled in. Also, certain Evenflo Big Kid Factory Select booster seats shipped between August 6-September 18 have been recalled. As for clothing, Children’s Apparel Network recalls fleece hoodie and t-shirt sets due a violation of lead paint standard. These are sold at Target. The clothing has Snow White, Mickey Mouse, and Cars character designs. When buying various products, it is important that you get on the internet and visit www.recalls.gov. All these and many other problems are easily noted.
