Step
1
Register your baby crib as soon as you bring it home so you will receive product recalls automatically. Usually manufacturers ask you to register to validate warranty information but this will also register you to receive product recalls.
Step 2
Check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website regularly for recall information. This is a dependable resource that many consumers are not aware of.
Step 3
Visit your crib manufacturer's website occasionally and type in your crib name or number under their search option.
Step 4
Monitor the recall website www.recalls.gov that constantly updates recall information on all consumer products including baby cribs.
Step 5
Stay up to date with current news reports and printed media outlets. They are often the first to announce safety recalls and possible product issues.
