Simplicity convertible sleeper recall, product recalls in general, any time limit to return?
Question by ngj03: Simplicity convertible sleeper recall, product recalls in general, any time limit to return?
For a product recall, is there ever a time limit. I bought this about 3 years ago and was saving it for my next child. Can I still bring it in since it is now on recall? I don’t have the box or receipt at this point. Thanks so much.
Its a bassinet, and there is a recall going on:

I don’t think the crib recall is issuing refunds. Instead they’re sending out a free repair kit. More info: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07307.html

Is it just me, or are companies really slacking now days with the safety of their products?
I am already very paranoid about food.I don’t think I can even purchase another product from a company that had a “slip”.Yes, mistakes do happen, but there are no room for mistakes when it comes to health safety.Why should I have to suffer from someone else’s mistakes? All this salmonella/e.coli etc crap in food is scary!
If anyone wants to keep updated, her is the FDA recall lists for food and medications I believe.

It is scarey….I never buy this, but my daughter saw it and thought it looked good, so I bought it. Luckily it was the smaller one, but I have only seen the recall one other time (I feel sorry for those who don’t know about it).

Have government recalls gone too far?
Question by Greg: Have government recalls gone too far?
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling 50 million blinds after reports that the cords can strangle children entangled in them.
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/ConsumerNews/50-million-blinds-recall-child-deaths/story?id=9336171&page=2
Ok. Now I’m all for recalling vehicles or machinery that have obvious mechanical such as shown in that article (“Toyota Motor Corp. announced earlier this month a 4 million-car recall of Lexus and Toyota vehicles for sudden acceleration.”) But blinds because they have lifting loops? Come on.
The article states that 8 children have died and 16 others “nearly strangled”. It is very sad that 8 children have died…no doubt, but ok…16 were “nearly strangled”? I don’t buy that one. That’s like “Oh my child NEARLY drank drano.
What has this country become where the government is the nanny for everyone? Are regulations necessary? Yes, of course, but I think it’s gone way too far. I mean what is next? Trash bags, yard rakes, garden hoses, phone cords? Gees.
Here’s my solution….watch your kids a little closer. I watch mine all the time and if they are that young to get themselves tangled in a blind cord…they don’t need to be out of your sight for more than a minute. I mean, where are the parents?
The complete government nanny state. So what do you think?
Apple Bottoms: You miss the whole point. As someone said, yes a notice is good…but a recall? Regulate everything….because everything and anything can be “deadly” if the right circumstances arise. Just put a helmet on your kids 24 hours a day…you know…just to be safe. Gee wiz.
Snowcone: Excellent answer. My whole point. Yes, people then used to use something called COMMON SENSE. lol

Answer by Forget War Buy More
I walk in on my child entangled in a blind. They aren’t dead, but they are cyanotic. That’s nearly strangled.
The recalls aren’t mandatory. If you like the blinds–keep em.

What are some of the worst/biggest consumer product recalls ever?
Question by Jay C: What are some of the worst/biggest consumer product recalls ever?
I’m trying to research the biggest, most publicized and damaging product recalls in history. Firestone tires, Tylenol, and the Ford Pinto come to mind. Are there any other product recalls similar in severity? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I think Nova or something which was a car manufactured in South American country. It doesnt sell at all because in Spanish Nova means no go and there is nobody who would like to buy a car that doesnt go. Its hard recalling bad products. Good luck
