Hi All,
I heard about Recalls.gov from the radio this weekend. I was washing some dishes and listening to the radio and I heard and advertisement about the site. Wow - I was so impressed I actually jotted down the name and decided to write a blog entry about the sit. And here we are!
So...what is Recalls.gov? Great question....direct from the website is this summary:
"To provide better service
in alerting the American people to unsafe, hazardous or defective
products, six federal agencies with vastly different jurisdictions have
joined together to create www.recalls.gov -- a "one stop shop" for U.S.
Government recalls. Follow the tabs above to obtain the latest recall information, to report a dangerous product, or to learn important safety tips."
There are tabs for Consumer Products, Motor Vehicles, Boats, Food, Medicine, Cosmetics and Environmental Products. Click each of the prior topics to go to that particular site.
There are also tabs for Recent Recalls, a place where users can Search For Recalls, and another place where visitors can Sign Up For E-mail.
Widgets for smartphones and tablets are available for each of the tabs mentioned before (Consumer Products, Motor Vehicles, Boats, Food, Medicine, Cosmetics and Environmental Products)....
Information for the site was gathered from various government entitiees like the USDA, FDA, CDC, US Department of Health and Human Services, EPA, US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Enjoy the site - I think it will be very helpful when you need to find out about a product recall.
Regards,
Stu
