Recalled Baby Products Sold on Facebook Draw the Ire of Powerful Committee in Congress

Lawmakers in the U.S. Congress have expressed concern about the sale of recalled baby products associated with infant deaths on Meta's Facebook platform. A bipartisan group of House lawmakers has sent letters to 17 companies, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target, questioning their compliance with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards in preventing the listing of unsafe products. The CPSC has issued thousands of takedown requests to Meta regarding the sale of recalled products, prompting lawmakers to inquire about how major online retailers handle the sale of recalled or unsafe items.
