Assorted Baby Gear &
Children's Furniture

Every year, children's furniture and baby gear experience numerous recalls due to faulty design, which has unfortunately lead to injury or death of many children. Just recently, the suffocation of a 6 and 9-month-old baby was blamed on the crib in which they were sleeping in, prompting the makers of the crib, Graco and Simplicity, to recall over one million cribs. This is just one example of many instances where a child is killed by a defective product. Unfortunately, it takes the death or serious injury of one child for a manufacturer to realize that their product is unsafe and thus institute a recall. Parents should be aware of the possibility of injury or death to their child(ren) suffered while utilizing everyday products for their babies. Safety issues and concerns have arisen in the use of such common products as:
