Recalled equipment: what Montana requires

Montana does not require a recall check

We read Montana’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 adopted rule text. “Recall” appears zero times. The biggest citation landmine we found anywhere: ARM Title 37, chapter 95 was REPEALED IN ITS ENTIRETY in April 2024 and replaced by chapter 96 — and Montana’s own health department still posts the stale chapter-95 document. Anything citing ARM 37.95 is dead law. The CPSC appears only as a crib and playground-surfacing standard. We could not machine-read the state’s current rules portal, so a post-April-2024 amendment cannot be fully excluded.

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.

ARM Title 37, ch. 96 (Child Care Licensing), effective 13 April 2024
