Each year, an astounding number of products are recalled, and the ones that tend to make the news usually involve babies. When a piece of baby gear or a crib mattress is recalled, that’s (understandably!) a big deal. But infants and toddlers aren’t the only minors who are impacted by items that are pulled from the shelves. In fact, your t(w)een could be using a recalled product, and the announcement slipped right by you. Phone chargers, LED lights, and hair dryers just don’t get the same attention as high chairs and bath seats.
So what might you be missing, and how does it all go down? For a recall to happen, the brand has to agree that the product is a danger to consumers. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) can issue product warnings at any time, but manufacturing won’t stop until the company in question agrees to a recall. It’s important to remember that just because a company recalled a certain product, that doesn’t mean the entire brand is full of unsafe products, or even that every version of said product is faulty.
A recall could just be of a very specific batch of said product (maybe those produced from May to June or a certain color). And, thankfully, it doesn’t necessarily mean the product caused an injury. Recalls are often a cautionary step that tends to come from consumers reporting issues.
You can always report your own problems at saferproducts.gov and/or read reviews from other customers who may have filed an incident report for a product that hasn’t been recalled. (Yet?)
Below, we have compiled a list of recent recalls that could impact your teen, but you can also check cpsc.gov/recalls to find the most up-to-date list of recalled products for people of all ages.
