2022 saw more recalls of children's products than in any other year in nearly a decade, a new report finds. 19 of the recalls were related to the risk of lead poisoning.
Product recalls are reported through the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, which works with companies to announce recalls and also makes the public aware of other potentially hazardous items.
"When a company refuses to work with CPSC on a recall, we have been issuing safety warnings on our own to consumers," she added.But critics say more has to be done. Schakowsky specifically took aim at the fact that federal law prevents the commission from saying much about products it believes are dangerous without express permission from companies.
Nineteen of the recalls were related to the risk of lead poisoning. Another 32 recalls were of clothing, the majority of which were pulled from the market for failing to meet federal flammability standards, KID said.
