Congressional Committee Condemns Sale of Recalled Baby Products on Facebook

A bipartisan group of lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives has sent letters to 17 companies, including Meta's Facebook, questioning their compliance with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards regarding the sale of recalled baby products. The lawmakers expressed concern over the continued listing of unsafe products on Facebook, which puts users and their children at risk. The CPSC has requested thousands of takedowns per month from Meta for the recalled Boppy Newborn Lounger. The issue has also raised questions about how major online retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target handle the sale of recalled or unsafe items. The companies have been given nine days to respond to the letters.
