Consumer group believes more must be done after recalls are issued to keep kids safe

"So, this means that approximately 78% of these children's products are still in homes or childcare facilities posing a threat to children," said Dev Gowda, Deputy Director of Kids in Danger.

"We'd like the Consumer Product Safety Commission to put more pressure on companies to submit accurate and full monthly product progress reports to the federal agencies that we're able to better track how many of these recalled products are removed from people's homes or childcare facilities, and then how many are still remaining posing a hazard to children," said Gowda.

A CPSC spokesperson said the agency urges companies to directly notify customers about recalls. "This includes not just posting the recall on their social media accounts once, but also promoting the recall through paid digital advertising. This type of outreach will help people see a recall notice and get dangerous products out of consumer's homes," said a CPSC spokesperson in a written statement.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said it's on track to issue a record number of recalls and safety warnings this year.
