Nov. 29 – Will CPSC recalls be up this year?

It appears there’s a real possibility of that happening, according to the article Shoppers must do their homework amid rash of recalls:

In the CPSC’s fiscal year 2007 (October 2006 through September 2007), 61 toys were recalled. Fifty-two of them were made in China, and 19 of those were recalled for lead-paint violations.

Wolfson said consumers should expect more toy recalls in November and December.
