Recalled equipment: what Connecticut requires
The requirement
Any furniture, equipment and toy that has been identified by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission as unsafe or subject to recall shall be removed or repaired as indicated.
What kind of duty this is
A removal duty, triggered when you become aware. Your state requires you to remove a recalled item once you know about it — which makes knowing the whole job. There is no fixed interval and, unless a form is listed below, no state form.
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
Broader than a pure recall rule: it also captures anything the CPSC has identified as UNSAFE, not only recalled. Two citation landmines — it is § 19a-79-7a (with the “a”), not 19a-79-7; and the recall language entered the centre rules only by amendment effective 16 October 2024, so pre-2024 snapshots (including Connecticut’s own legacy PDF) show a false negative. There is no periodic check, no documentation duty, and no Connecticut recall form.
