It would appear that there have been many significant product recalls in the last few months that should be of concern to parents of children and infants. Its disheartening to hear of so many recalls that could cause potential harm to children. When products are released to the general public that may not have been properly tested before release and such a product causes injury or harm to a consumer a product manufacturer can be held liable for such an accident.
