Some of the CPSC-recalled products found at child care settings included toys, cribs, and bean bag furniture. That means that children in these settings may be at risk of injury or death. CPSC staff's review of state licensing requirements indicates that most of the hazards included in the study are not adequately addressed in these requirements. In many cases, it is likely that well-intentioned child care providers and parents are not aware that many of the hazards exist. In addition, parents may want to use the safety checklist at home.
Nothing is more important than the safety of America's children.
More of our young children die from injuries than from any disease. Because so many children are in child care at some point in their life, it is essential that these settings be as safe as they can be. All Rights Reserved.
