ShopSmart Identifies Dangerous Baby Products
YONKERS, N.Y., May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- And what to buy as a substitute for to keep kids safe
Not all baby products available for sale are safe to use -- last year, 40 percent of all recalls were for kids' products. The June 2012 effect of ShopSmart magazine, from the publisher of Consumer Reports, highlights 12 baby products that can put babies at peril and identifies safer alternatives parents should use instead. The report also describes how to achieve maximum safe keeping when using items such as jogging strollers, safety gates, and baby monitors.
"Many people think that if a issue is for sale in stores that it must be safe," said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor-in-chief of ShopSmart. "But that's not always unswerving. Many widely sold baby products can put your child at risk of injuries or even death."
