So I just ordered and received my "starter bow"  One of the limbs is kind of loose when I put it in the riser.  I have not strung and shot because I am concerned about safety.  Any advice or guidance?

Is it an Olympic style recurve? If so, the limbs are supposed to be loose. They tighten up when you string it. I had the same concern when I got mine, LOL. Its counterintuitive, but its how they are made...
