The world is such now that many families have two working parents in order to live profitably and to properly support their children.  As such, parents are busier than ever before, which means that staying up-to-date on the unforeseen dangers that could affect them is very difficult.  These past few weeks have provided more background to that issue with the high number of products intended for children being recalled due to serious dangers they presented.  Unfortunately, many parents do not have the time to keep track of all of this news.

According to KVAL in Eugene, Oregon:

“So far this month, there have been a dozen safety recalls triggered by potential threats to kids.

Millions of shades and blinds that can strangle were recalled on Tuesday. Before that,choking hazards in books, strangulation hazard on hooded sweatshirts, a shock hazard with kids nightlights and flammable kids’ pajamas prompted recalls.

Now the Consumer Product Safety Commission says the painted logo in the insoles of kids Timberland boots have excessive levels of lead. The Classic Scuffproof Boots were sold nationwide this year for kids as young as one year old.

But with all these recalls, thousands of parents will never get the word and continue to use, share, sell and giveaway potentially dangerous products for years.”

The article goes on to state that parents should, “Make it a point to check the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Web site frequently for both recalled toy and non-toy products.”
