Recall Wednesday: 9 CPSC Product Recalls incl. water bottle spouts & more

Below are the CPSC recalls issued since Wednesday, May 5, 2010. Drop-side crib, kids jewelry and more make out this week’s list.

As a reminder:

In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines(pdf) (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!

You can find even more detailed information on all recalled products mentioned below on CPSC.gov. All information below comes directly from the CPSC website.
