You've probably seen product recalls broadcast on the news, but did you know that there are many more products that are recalled that never get on the news? In fact, it is not unusual for multiple products to be recalled every week. Fortunately, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which is the US federal agency responsible for product recalls, offers the ability to get product recall alerts so that you can be notified whenever a product is recalled. This wikiHow will tell you how to sign up for product recall alerts in the USA.

Steps

Navigate to the CPSC subscriptions page. This page allows you to sign up for email lists from the CPSC.

Enter your email address into the "Email Address" box.

Select the "All recalls (sent at end of the day)" checkbox. Selecting this option will sign you up to receive recall alerts for all product categories. If you only want to receive alerts for specific product categories, then leave the "All recalls" box unselected, and select the appropriate checkboxes for those items instead. If you own or run a business, then you may want to consider signing up for the Business email lists that are relevant to your business as well.

Click the Subscribe button. After this, you should see a verification message indicating that you were subscribed to the mailing list, and you will receive an email verifying your registration. Afterwards, you should receive daily emails with all the new product recalls that were announced that day. If no products were recalled on a certain day, then you won't receive an email.
