    In 2012, millions of units of children's products were recalled, though not all those recalled products were manufactured in 2012. Below are just some of the most dangerous to look out for.

    For an up-to-date list of recalls in all product categories, check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website. See all of Consumer Reports' recall news here.

    If you own any recalled product of any kind, you should stop using it immediately and follow the recall notice's instructions for seeking a refund or repair kit, whichever applies. Recall notices for every product are available on the CPSC's website, as well as at the links below.
