Recalled equipment: what Delaware requires
The requirement
A licensee shall ensure toys and equipment used by the children are sturdy, safely assembled, hazard-free, and not recalled.
What kind of duty this is
A standing prohibition. Your state says you may not have recalled items on the premises. It does not require you to run a check on a schedule, and there is 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
Two citation landmines. The old cites 9 DE Admin. Code 101 and 103 are dead — licensing moved from DSCYF to the Department of Education in 2020 and the rules moved to Title 14 (centres 933, homes 934). The recall subsection was itself renumbered in the June 2022 rewrite. Delaware uniquely carries a SECOND recall duty for vehicles: safety restraints “must be kept in a safe working condition and free of recall.” There is no scheduled or documented CPSC check anywhere.
