About This Girl Wears Glasses

We were affected by a toy recall from a manufacturer that we thought had more established manufacturing practices. One simple recall for a ‘geometric stacker’ and the treatment of the recall was the catalyst for this blog.  It has been my personal experience that there is a total disconnect in the way children’s toy manufacturers issue recalls, how, when or if, they are communicated to the retailer and when does the customer find out?

This site started in August 2008, and my community has now grown considerably. With the rest of the world, I am on Twitter.

My objective for This Girl Wears Glasses is:

To have all children’s toy manufacturers issue recall notices when any one of their products, or product lines have been recalled. The recall notice would be issued regardless of the size of the batch, lot size or item number. The recall notices to be posted on their website, but also devise a direct communication channel to all of their Canadian retailers so they can inform their customer base and follow up on the recall.
