Keeping Children Safe from Harmful Products

"Meyerkord and Meyerkord, a Legacy of Legal Innovation"

Meyerkord and Meyerkord would like parents of young children to know of a great resource to help them be proactive and reduce threats of harm to their children and families posed by irresponsible companies which manufacture children's goods. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC) is the government agency which investigates products that may pose a potential fire, chemical, mechanical or hazard to children from just regular use. Checking with this agency's website at http://www.cpsc.gov/ , is a great way for parents to ensure that the products bought for their family's use or consumption are, in fact, safe because important product recalls on items used every day are frequently posted.

For example, a product made by Arm's Reach Concepts, Inc., known as the Infant Bed-Side Sleeper was recalled by the Commission on April 5, 2011, because of the risk of suffocation, entrapment and a significant fall hazard. These products were sold to unknowing consumers at many major retailers, including Burlington Coat Factory and Babies 'R' Us. For more information, go to the USCPSC website at http://www.cpsc.gov/ to stay updated on this and other important consumer safety recalls.
