While parents try their best to protect their children and keep them safe, sometimes their best efforts are hampered by defective products. A faulty design or improperly manufactured product can pose serious danger to babies and young children. Product recalls happen with alarming frequency, involving everything from strollers to cribs and pacifiers. This week, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued recalls on a bedside baby sleeper, and a Pampers brand pacifier. There also is ongoing debate about the safety of bumper pads used in cribs.
