  • Like stealing data from a baby

    (From Kim Komando newsletter 4/22/2024)

    Last year, a Hawaii couple was convicted of living for decades under the identities of dead babies. Stories like this always disgust me, but after this long in tech, they don’t surprise me.

    Crooks have no shame, folks: 2% of identity theft cases reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) last year involved the personal info of Americans age 19 or younger. Many more go unreported, partly because they aren’t discovered until the victim attempts to apply for their first loan or credit card.

    Once thieves get your kid’s Social Security number, they only need basic info found easily online, like their address, name and date of birth, to take out a loan or line of credit in their name.

    Worse, you might be making these common mistakes that put your kid’s credit at risk — and you won’t realize it until it’s way too late.

    Identity swiper, no swiping!

    Here’s how to keep thieves from stealing your kid’s data.

    Step 1: Freeze your kid’s credit

    • Check their credit report (instructions here).
    • No one should have a credit report until they’re an adult, so no credit report is good news! If there is one, you know there’s a problem.
    • Ask the credit agencies to freeze your child’s credit. Do this as soon as you get their Social Security number.
    • Going forward, monitor their credit report just like you monitor your own. Go to annualcreditreport.com and sign up for alerts. You can read my full advice here.

    Step 2: Protect their info

    • Be skeptical: Identity thieves can be anyone from a relative, someone collecting payments at the doctor’s office or even a soccer coach. Be wary about handing over your kid’s SSN.
    • Lock it up: Put physical SSN cards and birth certificates in a fireproof document box and lock down digital copies with multifactor authentication or passwords.
    • Be social-savvy: Be careful about posting key identifying info related to your kid, like their birth date or physical address. No more pics of driving permits, either, OK?

    Step 3: Show your kid the ropes

    Gen Alpha, kids age 14 and younger, may be growing up with the internet, but that doesn’t mean they have adult judgment. Warn them of these common traps:

    • “Personality” quizzes that are fronts for data miners.
    • Questions from strangers on social media or video game chats.
    • Phishing emails; most kids have email addresses by the time they’re in their teens.
    • Handing over any info to curious strangers online.

    ⚡️ Share this important tip with anyone you know who has kids. It could save them and their kids a lifetime of stress. Use the handy icons below. You can make a difference!

  • CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using OmvedTherapies Baby Pillows Due to Suffocation Hazard; Violation of the Federal Ban on Infant Pillows

    Release Date: Release Date: April 4, 2024

    Release Number: Release Number: 24-188

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using the OmvedTherapies infant pillows because they pose a suffocation hazard to infants. The pillows violate the infant pillow ban because of their flexible fabric covering, loose filling, and ability to easily flatten and conform to an infant’s body or face.

    CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the manufacturer, Omved Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd., of India, but the firm has refused to recall these infant pillows or offer a remedy to consumers.

    The pillows were sold online at Amazon.com and Omved.com from February 2023 through February 2024 for between $20 and $30. The pillowcase is light gray with a bright yellow zipper and has the Omved logo of a large circle with a smaller circle beside it on the corner of the case. The inner pillow is filled with lavender and mustard seeds. The small pillow is 7.5 inches by 9.8 inches and the large pillow is 7.9 inches by 13.8 inches. The pillow also came with the “Baby Care Kit” and the “Mom & Baby Care” kit.

    CPSC urges consumers to stop using the infant pillows immediately, separate the pillowcase and pillow, and dispose of the pillowcase and pillow, as well as the lavender and mustard seed contents.

    Parents and caregivers are reminded:

    • The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard.
    • Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment.
    • Infants should always be placed to sleep on their back. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.

    Recall number: 24-184

    Recall Summary

    Name of Product: Grão de Gente Baby Nests

    Hazard: 

    The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC’s Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants. The failures include not having a stand and not meeting the requirements for side height, sleeping pad thickness, and fabric-sided openings. The product’s sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped. 

    Additionally, the baby nest designs with head pillows violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021’s ban on inclined sleepers for infants because their sleep surfaces are inclined greater than ten degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.

  • Stateside Bead Supply Recalls High-Powered Magnetic Beads Due to Ingestion Hazard; Violation of the Federal Safety Regulation for Magnets

    Recall Date: March 28, 2024

    Recall number: 24-175

    Recall Summary

    Name of Product: Magnetic Beads HIGH POWER 5mm

    Hazard: The magnetic beads violate the requirements of the mandatory federal magnet regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder, and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

    Remedy: Refund

    Consumer Contact: Email Stateside Bead Supply at info@statesidebeadsupply.com, call toll-free at 888-644-3448 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit https://www.statesidebeadsupply.com/recall-notice.html or www.statesidebeadsupply.com and click on “Recall Notice” for more information.
