Recalled equipment: what Colorado requires

The requirement

The procedure for regularly identifying on a routine basis recalled toys, equipment, furnishings, and food; and developing a plan to remove the recalled items.

What kind of duty this is

A documented check. Your state requires you to actually review the recall list and record that you did it.

Your state prescribes no recall form. Anything we generate for you is a convenience record for your own files — it is not a state form, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Worth knowing

This is a WRITTEN-POLICY duty, not a standing prohibition: the provider’s own policies must include a procedure for routinely identifying recalled items and a plan to remove them. The state prescribes no interval and no form. Do not mis-sell § 2.206(C)’s annual review as an annual recall check — that annual review applies to the POLICY DOCUMENT, not to the recall sweep.
