Chicago, IL (April 23, 2025)<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Beginning Monday, April 28, NBC 5 Chicago\u2019s Responds<\/em> Consumer Investigative Reporter \/ soon-to-be, first-time mom PJ Randhawa <\/strong>will be taking a deep, weeklong dive into the massive, multi-billion dollar baby & child business industry as Randhawa and the Responds <\/em>team explore the critical aspects of infant and child safety in a new, five-segment \u201cSafe Start\u201d <\/strong>series airing on NBC 5 News <\/em>at 6:00 AM & 4:00 PM CT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring segments on a number of key topics, including the dangers of inexpensive, yet popular baby\/child products, banned products that are still being sold in stores & online, the potentially-severe health risks surrounding baby home remedies, the important warnings linked to baby formulas, and how to be better educated on the dangers of child toys, NBC 5 Responds<\/em>\u2019 weeklong \u201cSafe Start\u201d series will help new and upcoming first-time parents make better informed decisions to protect their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecoming a new parent is one of life\u2019s most exciting moments, but it also comes with a lot of questions,\u201d said Sally Ramirez, <\/strong>Senior Vice President of News, NBC Chicago\/Telemundo Chicago. \u201cAs a soon-to-be, first-time mom herself, PJ, along with our Consumer Investigative Producer and new mom, Leigh Lesniak, did the important research, spoke with experts and got the answers to help parents decide what\u2019s best for their children.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note the following expanded details on NBC 5 Responds<\/em>\u2019 <\/em>upcoming \u201cSafe Start\u201d series airing Mon, Apr. 28 through Fri, May 2 at 6:00 AM & 4:00 PM CT on NBC 5 Chicago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MONDAY, APRIL 28<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangers of Cheap Baby\/Child Products – <\/strong>A number of recent international studies have found high levels of lead, phthalates, cadmium, and formaldehyde (to name a few) in baby and children\u2019s products that are being sold by popular, international e-commerce sites. These sites sell cute, colorful and inexpensive baby items that many new parents are flocking to these days. Data shows sales from these companies are continuing to outpace many mainstream retailers. NBC 5 Responds<\/em> speaks with a local pediatrician and chemist about dangerous product exposure levels and how long it could take for certain chemicals to have a negative impact on a child\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUESDAY, APRIL 29<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banned & Recalled Baby Products Easily Available Online and in Stores –<\/strong> Even though countless baby products have been recalled in the U.S., this NBC 5 Responds <\/em>\u201cSafe Start\u201d segment explores how many of these items can still easily be found for sale in stores on online- at some of the largest retailers. NBC 5 Responds also found recalled toys slipping under the radar, on secondhand sites like eBay. The investigation resulted in renewed recall warnings, and dangerous products being taken off Chicago store shelves.  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware: Home Remedies for Babies –<\/strong> It may be a home remedy passed down for generations, or maybe it\u2019s a new \u2018hack\u2019 featured on TikTok, but many of today\u2019s young parents are turning to homeopathic remedies to address common childhood ailments. In this segment, the NBC 5 Responds<\/em> team speaks with Illinois Dept. of Public Health\u2019s Poison Control representatives to profile common, yet dangerous home remedies people may be using on their babies or children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THURSDAY, MAY 1<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infant Baby Formula Warning –<\/strong> Consumer Reports<\/em> recently tested several brands of baby formula and found potentially harmful levels of heavy metals were in several samples. Other recent studies have even shown heavy metals like lead and arsenic are present throughout our food supply and many experts and advocates speaking out to hold the industry accountable. In this segment, Randhawa and the Responds <\/em>team highlight Consumer Reports<\/em>\u2019 testing and speak with area industry experts about whether these levels pose actual harm to babies, and what steps parents can take to minimize the exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FRIDAY, MAY 2<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous Toys –<\/strong> About three billion toys and games are sold in the United States on an annual basis, many of which are unsafe, leading to significant injuries. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are more than 150,000 or more toy-related deaths and injuries treated in emergency rooms among children 14 and younger on average per year. In this final \u201cSafe Start\u201d segment, Randhawa speaks with a local safety expert who provides a \u201cshow-and-tell\u201d with a few dangerous children\u2019s toys parents should be avoiding. The Responds<\/em> team also explores the ease consumers continue to have when it comes to purchasing recalled toys, along with what advocates are saying about why federal regulator product warnings are still not getting parental attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
