Today, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced eight more product recalls of children's products. CPSC cites lead contamination as the reason for all eight. Reg•Watch has been working on some back-of-the-envelope calculations on the number of children's product recalls involving lead contamination. So far this year, CPSC has announced 58 recalls accounting for more than 12 million individual products. (More than 11 million of the products — or about 92 percent — were manufactured in China.) These have all been voluntary recalls which CPSC normally negotiates with retailers. In 2006, CPSC announced 17 recalls of children's products for lead contamination totaling less than three million individual products. That's about a 320 percent increase in recalled products from last year to this year...and we still have almost three months left.
