Accounting for more than 80 percent of all recall units in 2023, over 70 million units of two candy products had been recalled in the United States. At the same time, about 12 million toy products had been issued for recall. Goods are typically issued to be returned to the manufacturer when defects are found that can potentially and/or have already caused harm.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information:
"A children’s product is defined as any product designed or intended for the care of or use by children under age 14. KID has expanded this definition to include other products that pose risks specifically to children such as window blinds (none recalled this year) and dressers. Children’s products were further categorized for this report by the type of product (clothing, furniture, kitchenware, nursery, outdoor & sports, and toys)."
