Either due to wear and tear of flaws in design, baby products can weaken or fail when exposed to the demands of the real world. For example, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in America between October 2007 and September 2008, there were more than 64,000 emergency visits among children under the age of five due to nursery equipment and supplies, and more than 73,000 visits due to injuries caused by toys.

Serious incidents involving products designed for children can ultimately result in mass recalls by regulating bodies such as the CPSC and Health Canada. These recalls can be initiated by manufacturers or government agencies, spurring media notices advising parents to discard products or order replacements for dangerous parts.

Unfortunately, in a 24/7 news cycle, safety warnings and recalls come and go quickly, leaving the majority of parents unaware of alerts about products in their homes that may pose safety risks.
