It’s July 4th which means people in the United States will celebrate Independence Day today. With July 4th celebrations typically come fireworks, so I wanted to share information about two fireworks recalls from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

I love the products from Manhattan Toy, and I know many other parents (and babies) love them, too, so I wanted to spread the word about the recent recall of the Tumble Tower Rattle by Manhattan Toy. The rattle is pictured here. According to the toy recall notice, the blue plastic caps on either end of […]
