How to Take Away Recalled Toys

On weekends, I like to write about the lighter side of parenting issues.  While doing some pre-holiday toy research for my 20-month-old nephew, I began to ponder what parents do when their child's favorite toy has been recalled.  I conjured up many nightmare scenarios, but found an excellent set of suggestions through Parenting Magazine. 

If the toy recall drama should affect your household, I hope you find these tips helpful.

Product Safety for Children and Parents

Recent news stories about the safety of children's toys and other products prompted me to make this blog post.  US toy manufacturers have had to recall popular children's toys contaminated with lead paint, and more recently, certain baby cribs were recalled. 

A good source of information is the Consumer Product Safety Commission.  www.cpsc.gov
