A safety fact I learn at KID: ” I didn’t realize that soft bedding was dangerous for babies and infants!”

A goal for the year: “I would like to press companies and resale stores to be as committed to raising awareness about recalls of dangerous products as they are to advertising new products.”

A safety fact I learn at KID: “I didn’t realize how little safety standards really existed for children’s products! It surprises me that it has been a fight for achieving them, rather than a given thing.”

A goal for the year: “My goal this year is to help encourage companies to think about consumer safety before profits.”
