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.
