Recalled equipment: what Maryland requires
Maryland does not require a recall check
We read Maryland’s licensing rules in full. They contain no requirement for licensed providers to monitor or document product recalls. We are telling you this even though it means you have less reason to pay us, because a page that invents a rule to sell a subscription is worth nothing to you and would deserve nothing from you.
What the rules do say
We read the full text of both subtitles: “recall” appears zero times across all nineteen chapters. The only CPSC content is a crib and playpen conformity clause. One honest caveat, prompted by the Missouri finding: we did not exhaustively read Maryland’s enabling STATUTE, and a statute-level duty cannot be entirely excluded — a targeted search surfaced none. Maryland family child care is registered, not licensed. The state education department also serves a document that fetches cleanly but is a PROPOSED amendment, not current COMAR.
Recalled children’s gear is still dangerous, and a recalled crib in your care is still a liability whether or not a form asks about it. The free screening below works regardless.
COMAR 13A.16.09.04C (centers); COMAR 13A.15.05.06E (family child care)
