Note:
Generally, choking hazards and other design flaws (including problems which lead
to strangulation, burns, and other injuries) are created in the design state of
the product rather than the manufacturing stage. Lead paint and low quality materials
are created in the manufacturing stage, although some originate in the design
state (especially when thin plastics are involved). In some cases, especially
with third party products (batteries, etc.), the problem is in the design and
manufacturing of "add-on" materials or pieces.
Recalls
by Company, 2006-2007We will add additional years
as time allows. In cases where we found a website for the manufacturer, importer,
or distributor, the website link has been added. If the CPSC information includes
the manufacturer's name, or we could determine the manufacturer's name, we have
dual-listed the information under both names.. If the company is a subsidiary
of another company, we have dual-listed the recall under both names. However,
it is important to note that in most cases, the Consumer Product Saftey Commission
does not actually list the name of the manufacturer. In some cases, the manufacturer
is actually a subsidiary of the compnay importing/distributing the product or
may be made in a plant owned by the importer/distributor. In other words, the
line between importer, distributor, and manufacturer is pretty thin or non-existent.
In addition, companies that are assumed to be manufacturers (Mattel, Fisher Price,
et al.) are listed as distributors or importers by the Consumer Product Safety
Commission. In other cases, companies that are assued to be importers/distributors
(Walmart and other large outlets) are also the manufacturers, although they are
not listed as such. The key for consumers is to know what you are buying and who
made it. If you can not find who manufactured the product, the company's manufacturing
standards, or their safety information, then you may want to think twice about
buying the product. One final note about retail outlets,
whether online or a bricks and mortar location: a longer primary recall list (meaning
that the retail outlet instituted the recall) does not necessarily mean that the
company is more prone to carrying unsafe products. Indeed, it may mean that the
company is more likely to test the products they do carry. We have added the "where
the product was sold" information for exactly this reason.
