Product Recalls for February 2012

Safe Kids is committed to keeping you informed about recalls of kids-oriented products. While it is important to keep aware of all recalls, Safe Kids urges you to pay particular attention to ones in red, as they are associated with one or more child deaths. There are no child deaths in February.  Safe Kids will now issue this recall warning list twice a month and provide warnings about especially dangerous recalled products on the Safe Kids homepage.
