How to check for baby product recalls
CPSC + FDA in one place — plus secondhand, Amazon & Temu, and how to get alerted
To check if a baby product was recalled, look it up against official U.S. sources — the CPSC for physical products and the FDA for formula and food. Because those are two separate databases, TinySafe brings baby and kids recalls from both into one place (currently 852 recalls), each linked to its official source. Below is exactly how to check — including secondhand and online purchases — and how to stop checking manually by getting alerted.

How to check for a baby product recall
- Check the CPSC (cpsc.gov) for toys, cribs, bassinets, swings, gear, and other physical products.
- Check the FDA (fda.gov) for infant formula, baby food, and cosmetics.
- Match the exact model or lot number. Recalls usually apply to specific lots or models printed on the product or packaging.
- Be extra careful with high-risk items: infant sleep products, formula, and anything bought secondhand or from third-party online sellers.
- Get alerted for the future so you don't have to keep checking manually.
TinySafe brings CPSC and FDA baby recalls into one place so you don't have to check both separately — currently tracking 852 recalls (354 CPSC, 480 FDA), with 158 issued in 2026.

Common questions
How do I check if a baby product has been recalled?
Check the product against official U.S. recall sources: the CPSC (cpsc.gov) for physical products like toys, cribs, and gear, and the FDA (fda.gov) for formula, food, and cosmetics. Because these are two separate databases, many parents use TinySafe, which consolidates baby and kids recalls from both into one searchable place, each linked back to the official record.
Is there a site that stays up to date on baby recalls?
Yes — TinySafe tracks official U.S. baby and kids product recalls from the CPSC and FDA in one place, updated on an ongoing basis, with the newest recalls listed first. Every entry links to the official government source so you can verify it.
Should I check recall databases or is that overkill?
Checking is worth it, especially for sleep products, formula, and anything bought secondhand or from third-party online sellers. But you don't have to check constantly — the more reliable approach is to be notified when a product you actually use is recalled, which is what the TinySafe app is built to do.
How do I check a secondhand or marketplace baby item for recalls?
Before using a secondhand crib, bassinet, lounger, swing, or car seat, look up the exact model against official recalls — recalled items are often resold on marketplaces by people who don't know. Check the model on this site or at cpsc.gov, and never use a recalled sleep product.
How do I check if something bought on Amazon, Temu, or Shein was recalled?
Products from third-party and overseas sellers don't always meet U.S. safety standards and a number have been recalled. Check the specific product against official recalls — TinySafe has dedicated pages for recalled baby products sold on Amazon and on Temu/Shein.
What's the best way to stay on top of new baby recalls?
Recalls happen regularly and checking a page only shows past ones. The most reliable approach is to get alerted when a brand you use is recalled. The TinySafe app lets you add your baby's products and sends an alert the moment one is recalled — it's launching soon, and you can join the waitlist.
