Believe it or not, there are probably dangerous or recalled products in your home that you don’t know about. Most of the time, parents, guardians and family members never know that a product they own has been recalled due to the risk of accidents and injuries.
For this reason, our Sebastian injury lawyers are urging all residents to take a periodic peek at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission‘s (CPSC) recall list.
In the most recent list of recalls, you will find a lot of child products. It’s especially important for parents to be aware of these kinds of recalls because kids can’t do so themselves. Check out the recalls listed below and make sure to check the federal recall list often to help to keep your young loved ones safe.
