CPSC Recalls: Wooden Toys and Play Yards
December 30th 2009 by Dr.MOZ in Nursery, Recalls, Wooden Toys
Two recalls were released by the CPSC today, so I wanted to give them a quick post because one covers 213,000 units sold in some of the largest retailers in the country. Today’s recall warnings include:
- Wooden Toys Recalled by Kendamaspot: Violation of lead paint ban -> 300 units sold through Kendamaspot’s website and cultural festivals in Washington state from July 08 – Apr 09.
- Safety 1st Disney Care Center™ Play Yard and Eddie Bauer Complete Care Play Yard by Dorel Juvenile group: Risk of suffocation or positional asphyxiation -> 213,000 units sold at Babies “R” Us, Kmart, Sears, Target and Walmart from Jan 07 through Oct 09 for $100 to $130.
There were far too many play yards to fit into the graphic, so please click on the links to view the entire list of products.
Have fun and stay healthy,
Dr.MOZ

Thank you for posting this – I hadn’t heard, and I think a cousin of mine purchased one of the Disney Care Centers earlier this year as a Christmas gift! I’m forwarding this on to her right now, thanks!

Thank you Dr. for this post. I usually buy wooden toys for my son at Babies “R” Us. Now I have to be more careful in choosing toys for my lil son.

Recalls of toys are very sad every time.

Seems like it’s one thing after another. I am losing faith that anyone can make a toy that won’t hurt some child somewhere.
I recently read about a crib made in Canada that had a faulty hinge. That allowed the crib railing to fall on the baby and suffocate him or her.
All of this is tragic.
When I was a kid in the 40′s, my parents had never heard of anything such as a recall. I’ve discussed this with them.
Our toys must have been incredibly dangerous. I remember a bottle cap collection (my Dad’s) that I was allowed full access to as a two and three year old. Loved the colors. It is the first toy I remember.
In how many ways could my parents be brought to justice today for providing a two year old with a bottle cap collection?
The authorities would probably arrest my parents, charge them with child endangerment, and throw away the key. Then I could be put in the non-dangerous foster parent program.
Yikes!
