"These pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards for pacifiers."

Things like this are beginning to make me wonder if things are ever really checked to start with! In the past month I have seen a ton of recalls, maybe its just me, but I worry alot, so that might be it too.

I know. My daughter actually passed these on to me and told me to post them on the baby forum I told her about. She always has a huge tangent over "stupid" recalls. Stupid = things that never should have been sold in the first place.
