Product Recall And Consumer Safety Resources

We'd like to think that the products we buy in stores, supermarkets, and malls are safe for our homes, families, and children. However, although these are federal safety regulations to keep us from using dangerous products or eating dangerous foods or taking dangerous medications, some defective and unsafe products slip through the cracks. How can you keep your family safe from these hazardous products?

Here are some helpful website that track defective products, give the latest news on consumer safety, and work to protect and inform the public about recalls and defective products:

· Recalls.gov. A government-run site, this priceless resources has a search function for recent recalls as well as an email list that sends alerts to your inbox regularly. The site covers recalled motor vehicles, boats, food, medicine, cosmetics, and environmental products. The site also includes Spanish content.

· The Food & Drug Administration. Also a government-run site, the FDA's web page has much of the latest news of food and drug recalls, as well as updates concerning new regulations, consumer product alerts, and consumer health information. They also offer free drug safety audio podcasts.

· SafeMomma.com. This website offers consumer information dangerous or defective products for children and babies, including baby furniture, toys, and clothes. They also offer child safety tips, product reviews, earth-friendly children's products, and a shop.

· The US Consumer Product Safety Commission. This official site lists recent recalls in chronological order. It provides information on why the product is being recalled, whether or not anyone has been hurt by the product in the past, what the product looks like, where the product was for sale, and what consumers who have bought the product should do next.

The United States has a system in place to keep its citizens safe, but each year hundreds of products are recalled due to safety risks. If you are harmed by a household product, food, or medication, be sure and report it and seek specialized legal advice immediately.
