I started this blog about a year ago, trying my best to keep an updated list of recalled products related to children’s products. So imagine my shock and surprise when I noticed an item I had purchased a couple of years earlier was on the CPSC’s Most Wanted list. Sad thing is, I had never heard of the recall, and still wouldn’t have any idea the toy was recalled if I hadn’t visited the site. This is the first time I’ve ever had to deal with a recalled item, so I thought I’d record my experience with it.
