Personally I have a love/hate relationship with this organization.  I just hate it when one of my favorite purchases shows up on the recall list.  And I blame THEM for my disappointment.  A few seasons ago one of my favorite summer skirts showed up on the “stop using this product” list, just because it could CATCH ON FIRE.  What???  I thought defensively, I’m not going to any camp fires, but I did retire that garment.   At GSA Child Care we love the CPSC.  Our policy and practice is to adopt their guidelines in our operations.  You’ll find we use the “Public Playground Safety Handbook” in all of our playground projects.  The CPSC is always on duty and looking at all kinds of consumer products, most importantly for us they look at infant and children’s toys, clothes and equipment.   The best way to stay informed is to get on their email list for recalls. https://www.cpsc.gov/cpsclist.aspx

 Once on the list you will hear right away about current recalls and advisories and you can take action for your center and share this information with your parents.  While we keep our centers up to the highest safety standards you can help parents keep their homes safe too.
