Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 23, 2026 —
A Consumer Reports investigation found that unsafe and recalled baby products remain readily available for sale on several online marketplaces. The products identified include drop-side cribs and inclined sleep products, according to the investigation summary.
The marketplaces named were Mercari, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and eBay. The findings raise a safety concern for consumers who may not know that a product is unsafe or has been recalled before purchasing it.
The summary provided does not specify how many listings were found, when the investigation was conducted, or how Consumer Reports assessed the products. It also does not state whether the marketplaces were contacted or describe any responses. Those details were not provided, so the extent of the listings and any subsequent actions cannot be determined from the information available.
The findings concern the availability of these products for sale online; they do not establish how many consumers purchased them or whether any injuries occurred. The investigation summary does not provide information about individual listings, sellers, prices, or the status of particular products.
Drop-side cribs and inclined sleep products are cited as examples of the unsafe and recalled items identified. The summary does not name specific models or provide further details about the recalls or the hazards associated with each category. It describes the overall concern as a significant safety risk, particularly for consumers who may be unaware of the products’ dangers.
Without additional information about the investigation’s methods, listing totals, or marketplace responses, the findings offer a limited picture of the scale of the problem. The information supplied establishes that Consumer Reports found examples of these products for sale across the named platforms, but does not detail what happened after the investigation.
