From stroller recalls to toxic baby bling, it’s been a bad few months for children’s products—that’s why Toys “R” Us wants to give back. From now until February 20 the mega-retailer for all things kiddy is holding a massive trade-in event for those many items that may have proved hazardous to your child’s health. NY1 reported that during this year’s “Great Trade-In” event customers are urged to hand over their strollers, cribs and other baby items in exchange for a 25 percent discount (personally I would ask for a full refund). Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco and Jeep have all volunteered to take part in the promotion, but do they have a choice, really?
And over at Wal-Mart buyers are encouraged to immediately return their “Princess And The Frog” pendants. Apparently the charms were one of a large Chinese-manufactured group that contain cadmium, a chemical that can be harmful to kids’ brain development.
