There are several websites that make it easy to check whether there are any recalls on the products your children use. Knowing this information can prevent injury (or worse).

If you borrow or buy second hand items it’s even more important to check. With products you buy new be sure to send in their registration/warranty cards whenever they’re included so that you’ll be notified of any recalls on that item in the future.
