When Buying Used
Articles |
| Stores selling new retail items do a
pretty good job of pulling recalled items from the shelves, but extra
caution must be taken when buying second-hand, whether from a consigment
store, or from an individual who may not know an item has been
recalled.
This is our favorite
for recall information - not only is it a Canadian site, but they also
keep past recalls as well as current ones.
CBC Marketplace Warnings & Recalls
Car seats that have
been in an accident should NEVER be re-used. Because there often may be
no outward signs of damage, yet a seat may be structurally affected, we
recommend you never buy a used car seat unless it is from someone you
know personally who can assure you it has never been in an impact. I was
especially horrified a few months ago to see a driver for a well-known
charitable organization literally fling a car seat into the back of the
truck. This is one of the organizations who then resell the donated
items to Value Village and similar stores. I called the organization
immediately to complain and was assured that all seats collected that
day and on that driver's route would be destroyed. Hopefully, all the
drivers were warned as well
...but you just never know!
