For whatever reason — new baby, sleeplessness — parents often miss recalls. After all, there can be over three recalls per week on child safety items alone.

As for the current Mclaren recall, the first child to ride in one of these strollers will be ten years old by now. Chances are that stroller has been passed on down the line, probably holding at least two or three other children in its lifetime. This recall could effect many people than just the original buyers of the 1 million models recalled.

For product recall information, I recommend subscribing to the RSS feed offered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. (http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerel.html) I also blog about product recalls and legal issues involving child safety at my law firm’s blog.

Thanks for providing an overview of this issue and fighting the good fight against the inundation of shoddy products.
