The old saying for many is that the month of March “comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”  For those who manufacture children’s products of almost any type, the opportunity to turn the next page on the calendar is more than welcome given that March could go down as the worst month in history when it comes to the number of product recalls involving children’s products.

Just in the past month alone, we’ve posted warnings regarding recalls that involve:

• Baby slings
• High chairs
• Fork and spoon sets
• Hooded sweatshirts
• Roman shades and Roll-up blinds
• Stairway gates

Each of these products presented immediate dangers to children who used them including suffocation, choking, strangulation and dangerous falls from the top of staircases.

There could be many reasons for this enormous number of recalls dealing with children’s products, and possibilities include tighter oversight by those charged with protecting consumers, lower quality in terms of manufacturing or simply a string of incredible coincidences that led to all of these recalls occurring in a short period of time.

Regardless of why these product recalls occurred at such a high rate during March of 2010, the bottom line remains the same – those who place defective and dangerous products into the market stream need to be held accountable for the damage they have caused.  Consumers tend to trust products that make it to the retail shelves and assume that they have been tested for safety.
