Great idea, caught a couple grammar problems:

> When a safety issue is raised on one of your kid toys we send you immediate alerts to make sure you are in the known.

should be...

> When a safety issue is raised on one of your kid's toys we send you immediate alerts to make sure you are in the know.

The `kid's` part can also be `kids'`, I think. Maybe. I'm terrible at plural possession.

Just to confirm, `kids'` is correct for plural posession.

If you want to be really pedantic and overanalyse it, there are three possible situations. `kids'` if you assume the parents have multiple kids, and `kid's` if they have one. However, if you assume that "your" refers to all the parents on the internet collectively, then `kids'` is correct again. Since `kids'` is correct in 2 out of 3 scenarios, that's what I would go for.
