CPSC Commissioner Warns Children's Products Manufacturers

As a parent, my greatest concern is my children's safety. However, there have been a significant number of children's prouduct recalls in the news lately. From Discovery Lamps to Britax "Blink" umbrella strollers and Generation 2 Cribs to Disney jewelry, and more. Risks include combustion, finger amputation, suffocation and more. Hopefully that will change, though. Inez Tenenbaum, chairman for the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is making an effort to improve child safety by issuing a firm warning to manufacturers of children's products that safety better be a number one priority or they could face penalties including fines, lawsuits and more. She stated, "If you resist our efforts to recall children's products, be forewarned: This commission stands ready to be creative in the use of our enforcement authorities."

 

Tenenbaum is looking impose new crib safety rules before the end of this year, which is good because the same rules have been in effect for about 28 years.

 

Child safety is crucial and as parents we need to know that our purchases will not cause our children to suffer injuries.
