The week leading up to Thanksgiving is when many of us begin our holiday shopping and traveling. In Chicago, consumer, safety, health and government agencies come together to give parents and caregivers the tools they need to keep children safe.

On Friday, November 15, CPSC and Health Canada recalled the PeaPod Travel Bed. KID does not recommend it's use for children under one, even with the recall fix.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan released her sixth annual Safe Shopping Guide.
Great to be there with other safety advocates. RT @ILAttyGeneral Madigan releases annual holiday safe shopping guide http://bit.ly/UD4lD7
We were honored to be at the release with Illinois PIRG, Jan Schakowsky, and Lisa Madigan. A great tool to keep... http://fb.me/VI8NVR8C
Then Tuesday, Illinois PIRG held their 27th (!) annual release of Trouble in Toyland. The good news? It's getting harder to find unsafe toys -- but read the guide to see what we still need to watch out for. KID was at the events in Chicago and Rockford.
You can check out KID's safe holiday shopping tips -- in English and Spanish.
Happy and safe shopping and traveling!
