Find Your Model Number — Visual Product Identification Guides

Find Your Model or Serial Number

Every recalled product has a hidden key — a model number, serial number, or date code — that determines whether YOUR specific unit is affected. The problem? Manufacturers bury these identifiers in places most consumers would never think to look.

Our visual identification guides show you exactly where to find these numbers on the most commonly recalled product categories. No more squinting at government PDFs or flipping products upside down hoping to find a sticker.

🔍 By Product Category

Baby & Infant Products

Baby loungers, infant sleepers, bassinets, cribs, and bath seats. Serial numbers are typically found on fabric tags sewn into seams, on the underside of the base, or stamped into the plastic frame near where the product folds. If the tag is worn or missing, contact the manufacturer — they can verify by batch using your purchase date.

Furniture (Dressers, Shelving, Desks)

Recalled dressers and furniture units have model numbers on a sticker on the back panel, inside a drawer (usually the top or bottom drawer), or stamped into the underside of the unit. Tip-over recalls affect specific production runs — your model number determines if you need the free wall-anchor kit.

Electronics & Chargers

Power banks, chargers, and small electronics print identifiers on the bottom label or on a sticker under the battery cover. Some devices encode the manufacture date in the first digits of the serial number — we decode these for each brand.

Appliances

Kitchen appliances, heaters, and air purifiers place model and serial information on the bottom, the back panel, or inside the battery/filter compartment. For large appliances, check the door jamb or the inside wall of the unit.

Can’t Find Your Number?

If the identification label has worn off, been removed, or is unreadable:

• Check your purchase confirmation email — Amazon, Walmart, and Target receipts often include the model number
• Contact the manufacturer directly — they can cross-reference by purchase date and retailer
• File a CPSC report — even without a serial number, reporting your product helps the agency track affected units

When in doubt, assume your product is affected and follow the recall instructions. No model number is worth risking your family’s safety.
