According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Fisher-Price 'did the right thing in agreeing to provide consumers with free remedies' for the products they recalled today. But they also state that 'all companies must do better,' 'must give more attention to building safety into their products,' and 'must work to ensure that they are adhering to safety standards.'
They remind parents that they have a role in protecting their kids from unsafe products too, including that they:
- report unsafe products, injuries, and any safety hazards involving toys and child products so that the CPSC can investigate and see if a recall is necessary
- stop using recalled products and make sure their kids can't use them until they have been fixed or replaced
- regularly check their products to make sure they haven't been recalled
- don't try to resell a recalled product
- regularly inspect toys, and then either fix or throw away broken toys, especially if they have chipping paint
As a reminder, included in the Fisher-Price Recalls of 2010 are:
- Fourteen models of the Fisher-Price Trike and Tough Trike tricycles for toddlers
- Seven models of Fisher-Price infant activity centers with inflatable balls
- 950,000 Fisher-Price Healthy Care, Easy Clean and Close to Me High Chairs
- Two cars in the Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Stand 'n Play Rampway toy

I heard about this from my Pediatrician in Plano, TX
Fisher Price is a great company and recognizes when they have to do recall they have to put the safety of the children using their products ahead of their image.
After all, if you are one of the largest toy makers in the world, you have to have a good reputation for being child friendly. I can remember some of the best times I had growing up were playing with fisher price toys.
