Dangerous toys and appliances in your home could put your family at risk. Attorney General Todd Rokita is calling on all Hoosiers to check this month’s recall list to protect your loved ones. Items include children’s toys, a countertop oven and other items that can cause serious burns or even death.
“Hoosiers need to know if purchased items are defective or could harm them or their children,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “This month, several recalled products are related to children, so parents must pay close attention to ensure their kids’ safety. If you purchased a recalled item, stop using it immediately.”
