Recalled equipment: what Kansas requires
The requirement
Consumer warning or recall. Each applicant with a temporary permit and each licensee shall make any necessary changes to follow the recommendations of any consumer warning or recall of a crib or a playpen as soon as the warning or recall is known.
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
REAL BUT NARROW: the duty covers CRIBS AND PLAYPENS ONLY, plus a separate standing prohibition on recalled child safety seats. There is no general duty to check equipment or toys against CPSC recalls — the terms “Consumer Product Safety”, “CPSC” and “banned” appear ZERO times in either regulation book. No interval, no annual check, no form.
