Editor's note: Last year was a bad year for recalls of toys and children's products, with 23 million toys and 175 million pieces of children's jewelry, plus a million-plus cribs, found to be potentially dangerous. This year is shaping up to be even worse. With that in mind, MinnMoms.com is posting recall alerts as they happen.
Go to cpsc.gov to see photos of the product and to find out if anyone's been hurt by the product and where the product was sold.
The site also can tell you if something's already been recalled, plus you can subscribe to be notified via e-mail every time any product dealing with infants or children is recalled. If you're looking to the future, go to google.com/alerts and put in the names of products you already have; if the product is later recalled, you'll get an e-mail. The more specific you are, the fewer false alarms you'll get.
