Recalled equipment: what Massachusetts requires
The requirement
The licensee must not use any equipment, materials, furnishings, toys, or games identified by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as being hazardous.
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
The Pennsylvania trap, verbatim: the word “recall” appears ZERO times in the entire chapter, yet this is a real, broad, all-equipment prohibition on CPSC-flagged hazardous products. A keyword search for “recall” alone scores Massachusetts as a false negative. There is no affirmative check duty, no interval and no documentation requirement. One chapter covers family child care and group and school-age programmes alike.
