Can a consignment shop sell you a product that had a recall issue?

Question by greekbrit: Can a consignment shop sell you a product that had a recall issue?

I bought a toddler bed back in June of last year. I was getting it ready to sell and decided to google it to find a better photo. Discovered that it had a recall issue back in 05.Contacted the consignment shop that I bought it from and she said that I should have checked on it when I bought it.It being a toddler bed, I would have never thought of anything being wrong. She then told me that she is not held liable and that it was my responsibility. I have ordered the right part, but I still feel that she should have not sold it to me in the first place. What do you think?
Also, if this is not the case. . .then how come a consignment shop can get in-trouble for selling a recall crib, toys, and car seats?

It is just like buying from a garage sale. Buyer beware.
