Dangerous Products Gallery

Saturday May 13, 2006
So, the other day I decided to bust out my cappuccino machine. It's been sitting in the cabinet for who knows how long, so I decided to go check and make sure it hasn't been recalled or anything. In the course of checking (using a Google image search) I run across a picture of my crockpot. It was recalled in 2003 because the handles can pop off while you're carrying it! My handles are loose, but I didn't really think much about it. I guess I would have if I'd spilled beef stew all over myself!

So, the point is, I never would have known if I hadn't seen it. I guess it's true when they say that a picture is worth a thousand words! So, I've created a photo gallery of recently recalled toys and baby products in the hopes that if it keeps even one baby safer in this world, it's worth it. Take a look.
