Product Recalls: Dehumidifiers, LED Lanterns, Baby Bath Seats, Jumpers and Cribs!

Here's a collected set of what I'd consider important product recalls from Sears, REI sold items, Amazon sold products and the like.

If anything here seems critical to you, check out www.cpsc.gov and search for the product names noted here.

As is the case with any recall, if you have a recalled product, stop using it and determine what your next course of action is via the recall notice.
