Safety Tips For Baby Clothes
Clothes and accessories can potentially strangle, choke, or cause other serious injuries to your baby or small child. Here are some safety tips to remember:
Whenever possible, choose baby clothes made from organic cloth and materials with chemical-free dyes. Never use clothes with long cords and drawstrings, especially near the neck because these can cause strangulation or suffocation. Avoid clothes with long ties or sashes. Always check for product recalls to ensure that your baby’s clothes and accessories are safe for use. Always check for loose buttons, strings, ribbons, unraveling threads, and other broken or damaged parts that can cause injury. Choose clothes with low flammability risks but check the label to make sure they don’t have harmful fire retardant chemicals. Because toxic fumes and chemicals can also stick to clothing, you can pick Greenguard Gold-certified dressers and other nursery furniture to store your baby’s garments or accessories.
Other Recalled Baby Products
It’s always a good idea to monitor all possible recalls for baby products to help ensure your baby’s safety. Watching out for baby clothes recall is just as important as looking out for baby food and formula recalls because clothes come in contact with your baby’s sensitive skin. These products might also have some parts or accessories that can cause injuries. Some of these are:
Baby food recalls Baby formula recalls Inclined sleeper recalls Baby wipes recall Baby bath soap recall Baby lounger recall Pacifier recall Baby bottle recall
