Let's talk recalls...

It seems that Gabe's things are constantly being recalled. In fact, one of the doctor's at work wants me to notify everyone of all of my upcoming purchases, so that they can make sure NOT to buy it! Every time he sees me, he asks if my kid has been recalled yet! This is getting a bit ridiculous to say the least... let's go through the list of recalled items!

First it was his maclaren stroller... apparently it can cause amputation of the fingers when folding it up..
Next it was his drop sided crib... apparently he could get caught between the crib side and the crib frame...
Then it was the roman shades in his room... big strangulation risk...
Next it was his high chair at Grammy's house... apparently the wheels can fall off of it which would send baby crashing to the floor...
Then it was his infant tylenol... not mixed properly...

and now... now... we have just gone too far... now his all time favorite thing in the world has just been recalled...


His "car car"!
Apparently the handle can come off sending your child off on their own



This has all been very frustrating to say the least! The worst part of it all is that I am big on researching products before purchasing them! I am constantly reading reviews and reading consumer reports. Guess I should be more of an impulse buyer ;)



***Disclaimer*** we are getting ready to switch Gabe to his Britax Boulevard car seat and purchase the Evenflo Triumph Advance car seat for our second car.... you may not want to purchase these products! They could be next!
