Safety signal / 100

How this signal is calculated

Wal-Mart carries a safety signal of 0/100 (higher concern), based only on public CPSC facts:

  • 22 recall(s) on record
  • Hazard types: Fire / Overheating, Other, Choking, Entrapment / Strangulation, Fall / Collapse, Injury, Electric Shock
  • 559,009 total units recalled
  • Manufactured in: China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand
  • Recognized certifications: none on file

Recent recalls and higher-severity hazards reduce the signal more. Absence of a recall is not a guarantee of safety.
