How do I check if my play yard is recalled?

No match is not proof that a product is safe. 17 of the 38 notices here list model numbers. They also name date codes or manufacture dates in 8 and lot or batch numbers in 1. The place they name most often is “on a sticker on one of the legs underneath the play yard”.
