> have been recalled and yet are still available for purchase on amazon!

Recalls are not mandatory I believe, and majority of products on Amazon are sold by 3rd party sellers (everything from part-time-single-person operations to big distribution companies).

You should add the story of your son's scare to the site - gives it a more human and personal vibe and give potential customers something to relate to.

Or McDonald's. I've seen more than one recall poster for the stuff in the kids meals, scary.
