Where do I look up a baby monitor by model number?

  1. Search CPSC by product and model number

    Nursery products, toys and other consumer products are recalled through the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Search cpsc.gov/Recallsby brand or product, then match the model number and date code on your product's label to the notice. You can report a problem at SaferProducts.gov.

  2. Search NHTSA for car seats

    Car seats are recalled through NHTSA. On nhtsa.gov/recalls, choose car seats and enter the brand and model name. The model number and date of manufacture are on a label on the seat's shell or base.

  3. Register what you own

    Car seats and durable nursery products such as cribs, high chairs, strollers and play yards come with a registration card, so the maker can reach you if there's a recall. Mail the card or register on the maker's site.
