Scary Baby Product Recalls: Are Any Of These On Your Registry?

Disney Onesies

So many of us love Disney and want our children to grow up with the fond memories we have of the brand’s parks, movies, and merchandise. But some parents got more than they bargained for when they bought adorable Disney onesies for their infants, only to learn that the outfits posed a serious choking threat.

The company announced in 2016 that two styles of its infant onesies came with snaps that could easily become loose and cause a choking hazard. 10,000 of the defective onesies were recalled. One of the affected styles featured Donald Duck, Pluto, and Mickey Mouse in front of the Disneyland Castle. The other style pictured Darth Vader on a gray background with the text, “If you only knew the power of the dark side.”

The good news is that no one was injured. And all you expectant parents: there is no shortage of cute AND safe onesies out there for your baby registries, like this adorable set.

IKEA Drum Kit

Children love to explore their worlds with their hands, and toys provide an excellent way for young minds to learn important motor skills. Until recently, the Sweden-founded manufacturer IKEA provided an affordable and stylish way for babies to practice those motor skills, in the form of a “Tongue Drum and Drumstick” set from their LATTJO collection.

Unfortunately, the company received six separate reports of the ball coming detached from its staff on the drumstick, issued a voluntary recall, and gave refunds to customers who had purchased the set. Parents who want their children to learn to play the drums from an early age might be better off registering for a different brand, such as Baoli’s Baby Music Instrument Set.
