Speedy Children's Hooded Zipper Jackets and Kids Hooded Pullover Jackets
Melissa Inman, Executive Editor of Parents.com, said, "Our toy and product recall finder includes recall dates, pictures of recalled items and more facts parents should know. We want to help families find out if their baby's and kid's toys and gear are safe."
For example, about 80,000 Speedy children's hooded zipper jackets and hooded pullover jackets with drawstrings were recently recalled. The jackets have a drawstring through the hood, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children. Immediately remove the drawstrings from the sweatshirts to eliminate the hazard, or return the garment to either the store or to Speedy for a full refund. For more information, go to children's hooded sweatshirts with drawstrings.
About 2,000 Bonavita "Cabana" wooden drop side cribs with metal mattress supports were recently recalled.

In addition, about 2,900 Bonavita "Hudson" and Babi Italia "Pinehurst" drop side cribs were recently recalled.
