Recalled equipment: what Virginia requires
The requirement
Upon being informed that a product has been recalled, center staff shall remove the item from the center.
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
A REACTIVE duty: it triggers “upon being informed” and does not require the provider to go and check the CPSC. It imposes no interval and no documentation. An asymmetry worth knowing: the FAMILY DAY HOME rule is BROADER than the centre rule — it is a true standing prohibition on using anything recalled or CPSC-identified as hazardous, which the centre chapter lacks. Both chapters were renumbered, and a common wrong citation (8VAC20-785) returns a page rather than a 404, so it looks valid.
