About me
Nancy Cowles served for 23 years as executive director of Kids In Danger (KID), an organization dedicated to protecting children by fighting for children’s product safety. KID’s mission was to save lives by enhancing transparency and accountability through safer product development, better education, and stronger advocacy for children. KID was founded by the parents of Danny Keysar who was killed in a recalled portable crib. KID grew into a nationally recognized advocate for safer children’s products, called on often by the media, parents, regulators and other stakeholders as a resource and key player in the arena of product safety. KID ceased operations in December 2024 and Nancy now supports work by other nonprofits on the issue of children’s product safety. She lives in Oak Park, Illinois and is enjoying more time with her grandchildren.
