When buying or selling previously owned items, you should always check to make sure that the item does not have a recall first.

A good place to check is

 www.cpsc.gov/index.html  - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Calling the company direct (or checking their website) and giving them a model number is always a good idea.

If you ever have a need to replace a missing part of a toy or piece of baby equipment, try calling the company and ask if they have a replacement you can buy.  Little Tikes (call the number printed on the toy) even sells replacement stickers! This always helps an older item look new again!  Most manufacturers now have web sites where you can order replacements if needed.
