After dodging the bullet over the course of several big recalls, our baby gates were recalled yesterday. Apparently, they are easily broken by babies and since they sit at the top of the stairs, they can create a dangerous situation.
You have to wonder why so many products are recalled these days. Shoddy craftsmenship. Toxic components. Sudden acceleration. Is it that the mass-produced widgets that fill our lives are so complex that snags are bound to form? Or is it that product quality is foresaken in the name of a company's bottom line?
I'm no economist so I coulndn't say for sure. All I know is I need a new baby gate now.
