Executive Summary

Between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2019, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

recalled 122 children’s products in the United States.

Main Findings:

• Between July 2017 and June 2019, 122 products were recalled, and these were shared

on the CPSC website.

• Of the companies who faced a product recall in this time period, 117 of the 122 had

websites, but only 76 of them (65%) posted the recall on their site.

• Out of the 122 companies with recalls, 87 companies (71%) had Facebook pages, but

only 47 (38% of all recalls) made a post about the recall.

• In a similar fashion, 85 companies maintained Twitter accounts, but only 42 (34% of all

recalls) used the platform to inform followers about their recalled product.

• Only 14 of the 81 companies (11% of all recalls) with Instagram accounts made a post

dedicated to their recall.

• Only 48% of the recalls were promoted on the recalling companies’ social media

accounts.

• Issues include the lack of public awareness of recalls and the difficulty in finding recall

info due to issues on the manufacturer and CPSC websites.

KID recommends that the CPSC establish a mandate for companies to provide a recall webpage

to ensure that everyone who bought a recalled product has easy access to information to

participate in the recall remedy. In addition, companies should be encouraged to use robust

methods to reach consumers through social media and direct communication. The CPSC must

make stronger efforts to assure that the company website provides information allowing the

consumer to participate in the recall. In addition to the incorrect sites, we also found links that

simply sent the consumer back to the CPSC announcement in an endless loop.

Between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2019, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

recalled 122 children’s products. These 122 recalls were all posted on the CPSC website.

Recalling companies are strongly recommended but not required post the recall on their

websites, which severely limits customer access to information on how to participate in a recall.

An online recall participation option is more convenient for consumers with busy lives than

having to make a phone call to initiate a recall, and the lack of website promotion limits the

accessibility of the recall process. In an analysis of the companies who had products recalled in

the July 2017-June 2019 period, of the 117 companies whose recall press release listed a

website for recall participation, on only 76 (65%) could the recall information be found. This

inhibits the process of understanding and initiating recall participation.

In the age of social media, customers can and do interact with companies on social media, and

these channels advertise sales, events, and other information to customers, but companies are

not using these channels to promote recall information. As such, it is much harder to garner

consumer awareness of recalls and harmful products when such information is not expressed

on channels a customer is likely to check. For Facebook, 87 companies had pages, but only 47

posted about recalls. For the 85 companies with Twitter accounts, only 42 mentioned the recall

in their postings, and only 14 of the 81 companies with Instagram accounts made posts about

their recall. A consumer is much more likely to check their social media timelines than to

deliberately check the CPSC website on any given day, thus the onus should be upon the

manufacturer to ensure that recall information is properly distributed to where customers will

see it, rather than requiring customers to search for recalls of their own volition.

In total, only 48% of the recalls were promoted on the recalling companies’ social media

accounts. This is a dangerous gap in information dissemination, and it is impeding the number

of people who have access to crucial recall information.

In addition, there are errors in the information being provided by the CPSC in their original

recall notices. For example, some links purporting to connect to the company of the recalled

item link to entirely different websites with no affiliation to the recall.

Laura Ashley Girl’s Dress CPSC Link Directs to Unrelated Website

This obstructs the recall process altogether, as consumers cannot rely on CPSC links and must

seek out information on their own, voiding the purpose of providing recall information. As a

relied-upon governmental office, the CPSC must improve accuracy in linking to company

websites. Also, several websites with links only link back to the CPSC page, which sends the user

on a pointless loop in seeking remedy for a recall. Some company websites go to great lengths

to obscure their recall notice page, assuming they have one at all, making it harder on the

consumer to find information readily when researching recall information.

KID recommends that the CPSC establish a mandate for companies to provide a recall webpage

to ensure that everyone who bought a recalled product has easy access to information to

participate in the recall remedy. In addition, companies should be encouraged to use robust

methods to reach consumers through social media and direct communication. The CPSC must

make stronger efforts to assure that the company website provides information allowing the

consumer to participate in the recall. In addition to the incorrect sites, we also found links that

simply sent the consumer back to the CPSC announcement in an endless loop.

The result of this mandate would both increase company accountability for recalled products

and would also increase the number of people who are made aware of the recall information,

specifically the people who interact online with the company and are therefore most probably

past or prospective customers. Information exposure would occur through a customer’s daily

scroll through social media as opposed to requiring consumers to actively seek out news of

potential dangers on the CPSC website. The onus for recall information access should be on the

company whose product is being recalled, not the customer who bought that product in good

faith. By requiring company dissemination of recall alerts and requiring scrutiny of CPSC links,

companies and the CPSC will be held accountable for their role in maximizing the number of

5

people made aware of product recalls. The resources, while underutilized, are available, so

action from the CPSC can change this to the benefit of the American consumer.

Methodology

A children’s product is defined as any product designed or intended for the care of or use by

children. Products that pose potential dangers to children but that are not intended for their

use, such as cigarette lighters with faulty child-resistant locks and window blinds are not

included in this definition. We have expanded this definition to include some dresser recalls in

the past, given that the product is often purchased for and located in a child’s room. Products

included in this analysis were recalled by the CPSC between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2019.

KID obtained all recall information for this report from press releases issued jointly by product

manufacturers and the CPSC that are publicly available at www.CPSC.gov/Recalls. All social

media information was obtained through search of manufacturer websites and search of public

social media platforms. The collected data reflects the presence of a recall notice on any given

media platform as of July 30, 2019. Any post that was removed prior to this date that mentions

the recall is not counted within this data due to the lack of information available about deleted

posts. Only children’s products under the jurisdiction of the CPSC were considered. This

excludes car seats and booster seats regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA). The CPSC does, however, have oversight of car seats that also function

as infant carriers.

Kids In Danger (KID) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by fighting for

product safety. KID’s mission is to save lives by enhancing transparency and accountability

through safer product development, better education and stronger advocacy for children.
