KID does great work with product safety. I get great info from their social media and newsletters.

Kids in Danger does an incredible job at spreading awareness about product safety and encouraging the implementation of safety standards.

I continue to really rely on KID for all child-related news. KID is my first source to share breaking news on product recalls, and I appreciate the emails / social media updates they post for real-time updates. The organization is clearly committed to protecting our children, and I am grateful for all that they do!

A great charity that makes households safer for many kids. I have volunteered for them in the past and their mission has stuck with me since.

KID is a great organization. I go to their fundraising events and they are super fun. Happy to donate to a great cause.

Great organization! I was fortunate enough to attend one of their fundraising events when in Chicago. After attending their event and meeting the people involved I was more than happy to donate to this organization!

I have participated in several events to support Kids in Danger, and it is an amazing non-profit! I really believe in the work that they are doing. Their community events and fundraisers are really well put together and fun.

This organization does truly groundbreaking and necessary work to make the world safer for kids. I had a wonderful experience volunteering with them earlier this year. I was impressed by the dedication of the staff and the impact they have had on the community!

Have attended several events hosted by Kids in Danger and have been impressed by their execution and ability to share their passion with attendees. Their achievements are impressive and I am proud to give to such a positive and productive cause/group.

Love all the work, they do, especially their recent work on Reese’s law. Working on bipartisan legislature to save kids lives is amazing work

This is a great organization that has been a joy to work for.

Kids in Danger always works so hard to create a safer environment for our children and really does make the world a better place.

I had a fulfilling and informative internship experience at KID. Learned a lot of valuable information about product safety and understood that it’s something we should also focus on, as the effects are grave. It’s a great non-profit to invest in! You’ll be helping to create a safer environment for children; saving their lives from all hazardous products. Join the fight for children’s product safety!

Kids in Danger always puts out great information to the public. I’ve learned so much through their social media pages and various events.

KID is an amazing organization I have been so lucky to be a part of! Communication and support are two vital elements when volunteering and KID has been phenomenal in both areas during my time here!

I’ve loved working with Kids In Danger! They fight for children’s product safety and truly advocate for each and every child. It was honor to learn about the organization and continue to volunteer for such an important cause.

great organization that's truly making changes for the betterment of our youth!

Kids In Danger is an excellent organization that fights for the safety and well-being of children. KID provides a much-needed advocacy voice for a constituency that often does not have a seat at the decision-making table: kids. Assistant Director Dev Gowda goes above snd beyond to make sure that KID’s safety work, resources and other programs reach broad audiences.

Amazing work and team! Have participated in a couple events and donated. Always impressed.

It has been great working this nonprofit and they really care about advocating for child safety! It's been truly an honor to get to work with everyone and gaining experience from everyone.

Really like the efforts KID puts into the safety of young children.

I completed an internship for KID during the summer of 2021. It was a great experience to help learn more about the different ways children's products can harm them. It was nice to see how KID advocates through different mediums (social outreach, legislation, community volunteering) to ensure safety and awareness.

Kids in Danger does amazing advocacy and education work with child safety and consumer products. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience engaging with the organization!

The mission of KID, ensuring children are not exposed to unsafe products via prevention, Awareness and advocacy, is vital to save the lives of innocent children and their families. Nancy Cowles, KIDs executive director, is highly regarded by children product safety experts, legislators and media.

For over 20 years KID has done an amazing job advocating for parents, caregivers, and families to ensure the safety of our children. They partner with all key constituents ranging from government agencies to product development experts, parents to manufacturers, and everyone in between. They have spearheaded legislation that has improved product safety and increased awareness of recalls among all stakeholders. And as KID enters the next two decades they are expanding their focus on creating tools and processes that will improve transparency, expand education, assist new product developers in creating safer products, and strengthen outreach. They do all this with a passionate, hard-working, and down-to-earth staff. They are relentless in their pursuits and I’m excited to be a board member at this pivotal time at KID.

Interning with KID has been the most rewarding positions I served in during my first year as a college undergraduate. The team is fully devoted to expanding informational accessibility regarding child product safety to those caregivers who need it most. The knowledge that the work we've done is changing lives serves as a daily reminder of KID's impact and mission and propels everything we do in KID. I'm grateful to be an active participant!

As a program intern for KID, I can truly attest to their dedication and hard work when it comes to being a committed advocate for the safety and wellbeing of children. It's truly inspiring to see what they've accomplished and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them as well as the lives that they impact.

As a volunteer for Kids In Danger, I have found it to be a great cause to work for. The people are passionate about saving children and making change for the future and you feel a part of that as a volunteer.

It has been a pleasure working as an intern for Kids in Danger. The intern program is well structured and I have felt supported during my entire time at KID. The staff members are passionate and organized which is a great combination to do work in the field of child advocacy! Overall, I am so thankful that I was accepted for this position and have had the chance to further the mission of the organization.

Between education and outreach, STEM curriculum development, and advocacy, it is apparent why KID has been so successful in its fight for children's product safety. The team is incredibly dedicated and proactive. A fabulous organization!

This is an organization that does everything it can to make sure the products that families surround their children with are safe. It's an honor to be able to Intern with such an amazing organization that holds an incredibly important mission.

I am currently an intern at Kids In Danger, and I absolutely love this organization's mission. KID provides such helpful insight into the hazards of children's products and household furniture and hires staff members who work so diligently to raise awareness of and prevent injuries and deaths of children by being so active within their communities and conducting research into various markets. The directors are such genuine and caring people, and they're always making it a point to provide the necessary support and guidance that us interns need at times. Would definitely recommending KID for anyone interested in public health and non-profit organizations!

As an intern, I’ve learned so much about the necessary accountability of businesses upon recalled products, the risks of children’s products, and means to help protect families in their utility!

FANTASTIC MISSION. LED BY AN EX DIRECTOR WHO IS UNPARALLELED IN HER DEDICATION, ENERGY AND PASSION! LIVES ARE LITERALLY BEING SAVED!!

Great organization that works actively to protect children

I learned a great deal while working for this organization and truly believe that its powerful message and mission is imperative for families.

This non-profit is dedicated to parents and children. They go above and beyond to make sure the public is aware of how to keep our children safe. Through their work, they help parents and the public understand product safety and potential hazards inside and outside the house. Kids in Danger is definitely an organization you should check out!

I was a volunteer for 2 years at KID and they do great work. Before volunteering, I had no idea how big the issue of child product safety. In addition, how unknown the issue is. It is an issue that affects every child, parent, and family. KID does great work in getting families the information they need to make sure the products that they are using for their family are safe. As well as, advocating for laws that will make products safer in the first place.

KID is such a great organization! They bring so much awareness to important issues in the safety of children and infants. They also have fun events!

Although KID is a relatively small group, their work to promote awareness for product safety is extremely impressive. KID's dedication to raising awareness for recalled children's products helps promote safety in schools, childcare centers, and homes. A genuinely impressive nonprofit!

Kids in Danger has educated me on the topic of product safety. Interning at this organization has changed my perspective of the products used by many families on a daily basis. It has educated me on issues such as furniture tip-overs and has encouraged me to share this information with family and friends. Kids in Danger gives a voice to families who have experienced a tragedy and does preventative work to ensure that future incidents do not occur. I greatly value their advocacy efforts.

I used to work as a volunteer and I truly appreciate the work they do. I think that the aim they are fully focused on is amazing.. Child proofing is the first step, but as a parent we need to know more for our kids safety..As a mom to be former volunteer, I have learned a lot. Every parent and grandparent has to follow their hard work..

As a volunteer Board member, working with K.I.D. is a refreshing experience. Depsite their small size and miniscule budget, K.I.D, is highly effective in advancing child safety. They are a strong voice in DC, the press, and is safety standads developmnet organization. Their safety work has helped save countless young lives and prevented scores of injuries.

As a current volunteer working with Kids in Danger,I am excited to be supporting an organization which is run by very passionate people. The team is promoting a noble cause - I wish them all the very best!

As a pediatrician with a special interest in injury prevention, I rely heavily on KID's frequent and up to date notifications of recalls and other important announcements. This information helps me protect children from needless and potentially tragic injury.

Excellent organization with an important message! 5 stars!

Kids In Danger is a great organization! What they do is so important and they do it so well.

As a former intern and current volunteer, I truly enjoyed working with Nancy Cowles and the team in order to create safer regulations for children's products. Being a part of this non-profit has helped me become more self-sufficient as well as a team-player. I have learned what it takes to complete projects in a timely, yet successful fashion. I do recommend any student who needs an internship or volunteer placement to give this organization a call!

KID is a great nonprofit organization that works so hard to improve the safety of children's products in many different ways. I'm so glad of being part of the summer team.

Educational and informative, KID is a helpful advocate for parents and grandparents to keep up-to-date on safety info, recalls, and best practices. Super friendly environment too!

As an intern at KID, it's been incredible to see the dedication that each member of the team brings to the table. KID is full of people who truly want to make the world a safer place for kids. Whether it be sharing recall information and safety advice through social media and workshops, or doing more hands-on projects, like testing products for safety, the team at KID works hard to ensure the safety of children, especially where they should feel safest: in their own home.

I have been interning at KID this summer, and I am really impressed by the work and impact of the organization. KID's efforts to ensure child product safety have brought light to an important issue in our consumer driven society and have also become the voice for many. The staff is constantly busy organizing events, reaching out to people through social media, and contacting various companies and policy-makers to further KID's mission. I am excited to continue interning at KID for the rest of the summer as I learn more about the non-profit world!

As an intern at KID, I've found the staff and office camaraderie to be super welcoming. Being able to work on various projects for KID showed me how dedicated the nonprofit is to advocating for the development of safer children's products, and to interacting with legislation and legislators on that front. All social media is constantly updated for recalls (such as the IKEA recall), and prevention material is always being put out there to educate the public. I would highly urge others to support KID--it's a wonderful organization with a highly important mission.

KIDS in Danger presented to our families last night and we would love for Laura Nikolovska, our presenter, to come back again! The safety of our children is of the utmost importance and this organization is very dedicated to educating the public about the safety of children's products. We also received valuable resources than reinforce child safety.

Kids In Danger is a valuable organization particularly in safekeeping helpless and innocent children and their caretakers in the prevention of harmful and/or disastrous products. Prevention and warnings are the key and Kids In Danger strives to achieve this ultimate goal. I fully support this charitable asset.

Great, underappreciated charity. Their mission is very important, picking up where the government left off.

Kids In Danger's mission is to inform consumers about dangerous products and practices that can injure or even kill a child. their outreach is small but mighty. i am proud to be a donor as they keep the public informed about recalled products, safe practices for sleep, play and travel, and are a voice in Washington for safe products.

Nancy Cowles and KID do great work helping to ensure that products are made to be as safe as possible. Nancy has worked extremely hard in the development of safer standards through ASTM.

Kids In Danger is a nimble organization with passionate team members and a community of caring individuals who strive to eliminate injury and death with unsafe children's products. their association with government agencies, the media, caring manufacturers and vigilant retailers is MAKING A DIFFERENCE. a huge one.

As a member of the Board of Directors, this organization is small but mighty. The passion of everyone at Kids In Danger (KID) is awe inspiring. The mission is to protect our children and educate families, communities and providers. Everyone who hears the KID story is forever touched and gives of themselves in any way possible. The staff is dedicated, hard working and gives 100% everyday. I am proud everyday to be a part of an amazing organization.

I had the chance to intern with KID this summer and so far, I can say I've learned so much about the nonprofit world and what it takes to sustain an organization. Even though the organization's staff size is small, they are doing incredibly big things and doing many important things to keep children safe. Everyone involved with this organization is involved because they deeply care about the cause! I believe Kids In Danger can change the way the general consumer public looks at children's product safety and I wish them only the best in the future.

I started working with KID (Kids In Danger) this past April (2015). I absolutely love it! The ladies (Nancy, Laura & Karen) are so awesome. They are not only well versed in their respective areas of the organization, but they genuinely enjoy what they do and believe in the message KID embodies. I really love the energy of the office and how everyone is there to help, encourage and guide. I truly appreciate all of the kindness and appreciation the ladies have shown me. They make me feel that I am just as much as a vital team member (not just a volunteer) as anyone else, which further fuels my desire to be more involved. Because of KID, the work they do and the ladies, I have decided to get into nonprofit as a career!

Thanks for all that you do!!

I started working with Kids in danger recently and I respect the work they are doing for improving children's product safety and educating the people about the products. Laura Nikolovska and Laura Ford are amazing people to work with and they are really flexible. I am happy to support them.

During my volunteer job at KID, I can see that KID is a very well-managed organization. They are working hard for children's product safety, no matter through educating parents via several ways or fundraising. Also, the staffs are so nice to work with that I really enjoy working at KID. I am glad to support such a wonderful organization.

Laura and Nick were terrific! They provided a very informative, dynamic presentation and went way above and beyond in supplying educational literature and safety tools for our families. Always a pleasure!

Linda Ginzel and Boaz Keyser are two of the strongest people I have ever met. With true compassion, they have taken their personal tragedy and created an agency to prevent another family from enduring their pain. Kids in Danger works to improve the safety of children's products and educate people about product recalls. The small staff works tirelessly to spread life saving information. KID truly cares about the greater good. I'm proud to work with them.

Kids in Danger is an important organization that advocates for better safety in children's products as well as education surrounding this issue. I became involved with KID through the Board Fellows program at my school, and it has been a fantastic experience working with them this past year. I continue to be impressed with the level of passion exhibited by everyone involved in the organization, as well as their ability to do such great work on such a small budget. Saving children's lives through advocating for the manufacture and use of safer products is such an important and under-served need, and they are truly making an impact.

I became involved with KIDS IN DANGER a little over a year ago. This group of dynamic volunteers and small staff work tirelessly to improve product safety for all of our children, grandchildren, friend's children, etc. I am honored to work with a group that does so much on a minimal budget. Bravo and a million thanks for safeguarding our most precious little ones!!!!! Ellen Weller

I offer my services to Kids in Danger at a reduced rate because I respect them and believe in the work they are doing. They work hard for very important issues of safety for children's products. I have worked directly with several staff members and every one of them is smart, efficient and dedicated. They are a pleasure to work with and I applaud the good work they are doing. Their work makes a difference in the lives of many- past, present and future!

This small organization has put every penny to good use in helping to protect the safety of children. I'm glad I support them.

I worked at KID over the summer for 10 weeks through the University of Chicago. I definitely value what I learned there, and it helped me understand more about the nonprofit world, the world of recalls and product safety, and the kind of job I would like to pursue. The staff does so much, gives 110% every day! :)

Laura gave an interactive and highly informational presentation to my Parents of Multiples Club. Everyone in attendance appreciated her laid back style and knowledge about product safety.

I volunteer with KID because I love co-founder Linda Ginzel, my inspirational mentor, and because of the necessary work that KID does. Executive Director Nancy Kowles is fantastic, so easy to work with, and runs a tight ship. The entire team makes KID an effective organization. When you donate your time and money, you know it will really go towards making a difference. In an ideal world, there wouldn't be a need for such an organization, but until then, there's KID. In short, KID is great people and great cause.

Laura came to our organization to discuss staying safe at home. Parents loved hearing about things to watch out for and what they could to do make their home a safer place. She's very knowledgeable about safety and more than willing to connect families to additional resources as needed.

Our Head Start program had the pleasure of working with Laura recently. She brought great enthusiasm as well as a wealth of knowledge and resources to our families! She was extremely accommodating and willing to help in any way. I highly recommend this life-saving workshop to all those parenting and/or working with young children!

KIDS is an amazing organization, the value of information that is presented to the world is unique! The presenter, Laura is amazing and really knows the materials. Our clients at Casa Central benefit from this useful information. We recommend utilizing the site and signing up to get the alerts! KIDS really helps save lives.

Kids in Danger did a great presentation at our local child care meeting in October. They educated us on unsafe products and they want to make sure all unsafe products are off the market. They work with Consumer Product Safety Commission to help prevent children from being hurt or killed. I would highly recommend them!!

I learned about this organization through good friends of mine and I've gladly participated in their fundraisers year after year after learning about the extraordinary things they do to raise awareness of products that pose safety risks for children. A great organization run very well.

KID helps so many families by educating people about unsafe products. They work closely with the CPSC to help prevent children from being hurt or killed by unsafe products. They have worked hard to pass legislation protecting children from dangerous products and to require more stringent testing of products intended for children. Their dedication to the safety of children is inspiring and gives me hope that we can keep children safe.

When Danny tragically died due to a malfunction of equipment, my niece was a child in the same care placement. It could have easily been her. I cannot imagine the parents, as well as the care provider's sadness, anger, and emotional roller coaster ride at a death that is preventable. Kids In Danger is an amazing organization who's continued checks and balances of manufactured, child oriented equipment keeps kids safer. I highly recommend this organization to increase the number of safe and reliable products for kids.

As a parent I can't imagine anything worse than experiencing a child being injured or killed by a faulty childrens product. Yet, companies are out there developing children's products that are at times dangerous or have been recalled and they don't do enough to warn parents about potential hazards (or actual recalls). In steps Kids In Danger. If it weren't for child safety advocates like the folks at KID or their strong foundation of loyal donors, professionals and media advocates, more children would be injured due to faulty products. Keep up the good work.

When toddler Danny Keysar got killed by a Playskool portable crib in 1998, I was a marketing professor at Northwestern University. I'd studied and taught marketing for years, and therefore I knew a lot about how to get products onto the market and into consumers' homes. What I didn't know is what happens when a product proves fatal, and it's recalled. Danny's death prompted me to find out. It is an understatement to say that what I found was disturbing: a federal regulatory system that was underfunded and inept, a legal system that shielded manufacturers from paying for their horrific "mistakes," and consumers who had no idea that the brand name products they trusted - Playskool high chairs, Cosco cribs, Graco strollers, etc. - were inadequately tested and too often, unsafe. Unsafe children's products still make it to the market, but thanks to the tenacious work of Kids in Danger, Congress has passed laws that fill some (if not all) holes in the product safety net, federal regulators are doing a better job of policing the market and holding manufacturers accountable, and more consumers get the word when a product is recalled. Thank you, K.I.D.! Marla Felcher, Ph.D., author of It's No Accident

It has been an honor to work with KID over many years through the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. KID is a valued resource in providing data, public education and policy recommendations to prevent and reduce the burden of childhood injury. Its attention to product safety, recall and regulation is among its most vital and valuable activities. Moreover, its availability and accessibility to consumers and responsiveness to their needs (often to those whose children experience injury or death due to unregulated or recalled products) is significant. I am privileged to work with Nancy Cowles, Executive Director on the Illinois Home Safety Coaliton under the aegis of the office of IL Attorney General Lisa Madigan where she make outstanding contributions in content and strategy discussions. KID is a small non-profit with limited financial rsources, yet its impact is strong and significant through its jucidicial use of revenues and its enormouse expertise.

I had an absolutely wonderful time working at Kids In Danger. Kids In Danger is a unique organization--it addresses an issue (child product safety) that many people are simply not aware about and it does so in innovative ways. KID combines working with law makers, research on child products, providing information to parents and caregivers, and more, as it improves child product safety across the country.

I am a consumer product safety advocate. Kids in Danger is truly an amazing organization. I am consistently amazed at how much they do with the meager resources they have. The dedication, creativity, and expertise of their Executive Director Nancy Cowles and her dedicated band of volunteers is admirable. The consumer product safety landscape would not be the same without KID!

Being a volunteer at KID has been an enlightening experience. Before this I wasn't aware of the deaths and grievous injuries caused by cribs and harmless looking children's products that we don't think twice about purchasing to make our kids comfortable and happy. These 'harmless' products have become unsuspecting death traps. The unfortunate parents have little or no information on purchase of cribs which have been recalled or lifted from the market place but still continue to be sold. The role of KID is crucial here. Spreading awareness by campaigning for stringent safety standards, outreach and educational programs, KID helps save children's lives everyday. A child is the most precious and vulnerable member of society. Its our duty to protect them. That's the reason I feel responsible and so privileged to support KID in their mission.

In 1998, when Danny Keysar was killed by a dangerous crib that had actually been recalled five years earlier, my work colleagues, my friends, and my family united to set other concerns aside to wonder how this could have happened. The founders of this group determined to work so that it would not happen again. I became involved because I agree that this work is vital and that steps can be taken to ensure that children's product safety as an issue goes into history. I see how this group focuses precisely on the type of legislation and enforcement that will benefit the development and testing and recall system for these products. It is a very organized and wise (a type of wisdom gained in a way that is too painful to contemplate) team. Sadly, this cause today must remain on the side of the angels....all of the little ones that have been lost and injured because of a system that was cracked and did not protect our most precious assets-our children.

I am a Chicago Mom who became a Consumer Advocate in July 2003 after my then 5yr. old son, Andrew, was nearly strangled to death by a toy called the Yo-Yo Water Ball. I had heard about Kids In Danger from a friend of mine whose 2 yr. old son had died in an accident at home 6 months earlier. She suggested that I contact KID about my son's incident so I did. I spoke with Nancy Cowles, Executive Director at KID about my concerns. I was more than impressed with her vast knowledge of the consumer product safety system and her willingness to assist be in trying to get the word out about the dangerous toy that almost killed my child. I put my stoy on the KID site so that parents around the country could learn of the dangers this toy posed to their children. I also wanted to make sure that this toy was removed from the market place so I started a grassroots campaign to get the toy banned on both a state and national level. I successfully lobbied Illinois lawmakers to ban the toy back in 2005 and have worked with lawmakers in NJ and NY who have also passed state bans. I have also worked with Congressional Members and Consumer Advocacy Groups like KID on this important child safety issue. They have all written numerous letters to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in support of a national ban of the Yo-Yo Water Ball and continue to support my work. I had the honor of testifying at a Congressional Hearing in 2004 along side Nancy Cowles and Linda Ginzel, Founder of KID about the safety issues plaguing our consumers and what should be done about it. These two women are simply amazing. They have dedicated themselves to protecting children from dangerous products and continue to bring their mission public. I know that KID's work has saved the lives of so many children by making sure that people are informed about dangerous products before accidents happen. The Consumer Product Safety Impovement Act of 2008 was recently signed into law. KID worked tirelessly on pushing through this legislation and making sure that it contained the necessary mandates to protect our children. It seems that the CPSC and manufactures still continue to put profit before people. But thankfully, there is KID; who always puts children first! I am grateful to KID for continuing to push for stronger laws to protect children from unsafe products! I will continue to work KID on my advocacy work and will remain an avid supporter of KID! There are still dangerous products in the market place but KID continues to bring these issues into the spotlight to protect us. I applaud KID for their efforts in making this world a safer place for our children! Parents around the country are fortunate to have KID on their side! Kudos to Kid In Danger! Lisa Lipin Skokie IL
