It’s great that the Consumer Product Safety Commission issues recalls for dangerous products. The problem is, many consumers of those products never find out about it. And, as consumers, who among us has the time to research every product to make sure there’s no recall?

That’s the beauty of automatic alerts. It so happens the CPSC offers automatic alerts via e-mail. Here’s how to sign up:

1. Go to the CPSC email alerts page (https://www.cpsc.gov/cpsclist.aspx).
2. Enter your e-mail address.
3. Click the button for “All recalls only (list name: recalls)”
4. Click the “Subscribe” button.

You can look up recalls at www.recalls.gov
