Recall Wednesday: 3 Products Recalled by CPSC, September 1-7

These are the Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) recalls that have been issued from September 1 –7, 2010.

As a reminder:

In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (which were incorporated into an industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled in the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets or sweatshirts.

Be sure to check old hand-me-downs for this!
