by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund that was discussed at a news conference at Lurie Children’s Hospital on Tuesday. The researchers behind the report searched for 16 toys that had been recalled and found 11 of them on Facebook marketplace, eBay and some online toy shops.“We were able to find toys that had been recalled days, weeks, months and even years after the recall,” said Abe Scarr, director of the Illinois PIRG Education Fund.
She said she’d like to see companies handle recalls the same way they handle the marketing of toys, such as by trying to reach consumers through social media ads and influencers. Researchers behind the report said that after they had already received several of the toys, eBay emailed to warn them that the toys had been recalled and not to use them. Four other sellers canceled the purchases before the items shipped.
