The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports a record number of recalls, but a study shows only 22% of recalled children's products are effectively removed from homes, leaving 78% as potential hazards.
According to Dev Gowda from Kids in Danger, many recalled items are still present in homes or childcare facilities, highlighting the need for companies to provide accurate recall progress reports and increase transparency.
A CPSC spokesperson emphasized the importance of companies notifying customers. They urged companies to improve recall visibility through paid digital advertising, indicating a need for better consumer outreach efforts.
Despite numerous recalls in the toy industry in 2023, advocates and reports show a significant gap in the actual removal of hazardous toys from homes, raising safety concerns for children.
