SKC Launches Program to Educate Public about Danger of Purchasing and Accepting Recalled Products

In an effort to keep children and babies away from the danger of recalled items, Safe Kids California (SKC) has launched a program to educate the public about the danger of unknowingly purchasing or accepting products that have been recalled.

The campaign’s English and Spanish public service announcements (PSAs) and videos showcase important safety messages about recalled items. It also encourages parents to check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission list when accepting new or used items.

The first PSA, entitled “Wheels,” highlights strollers and outdoor sports equipment, which are among the most frequently recalled products that enter the market through swap meets, garage sales, second-hand stores, and friends and family. The second PSA, “Baby’s Day,” uses a crib mobile of products to demonstrate how items for infants and toddlers are recalled more frequently than other products.

Both PSAs can be viewed at SKC’s website.
