You may have bought your child's favorite toy or car seat due to the fantastic ratings you saw on Amazon. And we're all for taking advantage of those amazing reviews; but unfortunately, that's not always enough for keeping hazardous items out of your home.
Hundreds of children's products are recalled each year. And because companies don't necessarily have to broadcast that information to all, it means you could own some of those recalled items.
We've compiled some of the most popular baby products of 2017 that were recalled, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. If you have any of these products, please either return or discard it, rather than passing on the potentially dangerous toy to your nearest consignment shop.
