Your site says in 2013 one toy was recalled every three days, and you mention 37,000 toys being monitored but have sent alerts about only 1% of them. To me this says by default the recalls are so rare I may never buy an affected product just by chance, I think you need something more if you want $$ every month.

Maybe this would be a better service for kindergartens, schools, daycares etc rather than parents.




Thanks for the feedback. The 37,000 is the number of toys being monitored by parents (i.e. added to the database by one of our users). The copy "Toys Being Monitored" definitely needs to be adjusted!

Thanks for pointing that out!

Also, regarding pricing: RecallBee is a pay-what-you-want service ;)


Do you have any statistics that show why every parent should use this service? What is the risk of buying a recalled toy, or one that will be, on Amazon or at Walmart? What % of families have at least one recalled toy their kids might be using?
