Safety advocacy group Kids In Danger (KID) recently announced findings from its annual children’s product hazard report, “A Measure of Safety: Children’s Product Recalls in 2011.” This report examines data and trends in children’s products that have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This year, KID found that while children’s product recalls have dropped 24 percent since 2010, injuries and other adverse events associated with these recalls grew by an alarming 7 percent. The group also reported that nursery products were the most-recalled category with 30 percent of children’s recalls, followed by toys at 26 percent.
