Was it recalled? Are you safe?

I am forever receiving recall notices related to medications due to the nature of my work. However, finding out about other recalled items is purely serendipitous for me. For instance, I didn't know about the recent recall of the children's toy, the Easy Bake Oven. I did some research and found a GREAT website that has many of the recalled items listed. It is done by category so that it is very easy to do a spot check of items you frequently use! Here is the site: http://www.recalls.gov/ Do you check frequently for recalled items? Do you feel that recalled items need more media attention?

Hey crazy! Thanks for the link, that could come in handy. I usually get a notification from the local child care resource and referral when there is a major recall, but they probably miss a few.

I've never been given anything which has been recalled. Over here there's a process of testing and once tested it's seen as "safe" if something was to happen then they'd just be stopped. which is a common thing :) ~Joey

That's great, I usually miss a lot of recalls myself. I don't think they give them nearly as much media attention as they should. Of course now I have to remember to check the link...but I did sign up for the email alerts, so that should help...lol Thanks for posting it.
