The Amazing World of Product Recalls

I’ve been totally amazed at the vast quantity of product recalls that happen every week since I’ve been subscribed to the RSS feed for product recalls from the (CPSC).

The recent travesty with the Aqua Dots product recall has just sickened me. To think of a child going comatose by simply putting the product in his mouth is just mind-boggling.

Sad.

I highly recommend subscribing to their feed and browsing the previous recalls to ensure your family is safe. I recently returned an electric leaf blower because of a safety issue I discovered via the feed alert.

See all recalls at this page. They even have a podcast, but at last listen it was simply someone reading the recalls. Very dry.
