Shortly after my son was born, I baby-proofed the house. I bought Safety 1st products because of the name. I have been thoroughly disappointed with the quality of their products. Are they made in China? My son, at less than 1 year old, was able to remove their plug outlets. Their cupboard door latches break and their door stopper can cut little fingers. I also bought their booster seat (the one that folds). Cheap. Our kids deserve better, safer products than what Safety 1st is manufacturing. I now avoid Safety 1st products like the plague. And Dorel makes this stuff? Shame on them.Thankfully my son was not hurt by these products. I spent a lot of money because of the name (Safety 1st).
Consumer Complaints & Reviews


I had purchased a Grip n go latch to put on my cupboard that hold all my cleaning supplies and my 14 month old son pulled it and it snapped it right in half and he has all the chemicals everywhere i did speak with the doctor and he did insist that i watch him very close for the next 24 hours for any strange behaviors or for him to become extremely ill. I am a Cna and do know all the symptoms to watch for.
I am not sure if this was a faulty latch but i am very upset i do understand accidents happened but this could have killed my little boy if he was to ingest any or enough of these. If we don't hear back from this company asap my lawyer will contact them asap to resolve this in a timely manner thank you for your time. could have resulted in death he had broke a latch that was made to protect our children from harm.

I bought their outlet safety plugs for my outlets so my kids won't get hurt hurt sticking an item into the outlet but my daughter found one of the plugs, put it in her mouth and nearly suffocated. These items are just barely larger than the Small Part Test cylinder but because they are so small they can lodged into the throat, twist cut off air and then the throat tightens itself around the device more and more as the body is fighting for air lodging the safety plug deeper and deeper into the soft tissue of the throat.
It's not just safety 1st but Leviton, GE and most every other safety plug maker. How can they make a product designed to make a home safer when in reality it makes the home even more hazardous.
I have over 25 hospitals in 25 States who agree with me! My daughter suffocated.
