Recall-check policy
Every PickedBaby guide carries a “Recalls checked {date}” line near the top. This page explains what that date means.
What we check
- CPSC recalls and warnings on CPSC.gov, and reports on SaferProducts.gov, for every product type and named model on the page.
- NHTSA car seat recalls on NHTSA.gov for every car seat page.
- For food-contact and health-related items (formula, bottles, teethers), FDA notices where relevant.
When we check
- Before a page is first published.
- On every refresh of the page.
- Whenever we learn of a new recall in a category we cover.
What we do when a product is recalled
- We never recommend a product with an open recall.
- Within one day of learning of a recall, we remove the product from our picks or flag it clearly, and link the official notice.
- We update the “Recalls checked” date and note the change.
What a recall check can and can’t tell you
Recalls often cover specific model numbers and manufacture dates. Our check is about the models we name on the date shown; it can’t confirm the status of the exact unit you own. Look up your product’s model number and manufacture date on the official sites above, register products with their makers so they can contact you, and report problems to CPSC or NHTSA.
