Product Recalls for January 2012

Safe Kids is committed to keeping you informed about recalls of child-oriented products. While it is important to be 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 recall-related deaths on this month's list.

Starting with February's recalls, Safe Kids will issue the recall warning list twice a month. We will continue to provide warnings about especially dangerous recalled products on the Safe Kids homepage.
