Keeping your Loved Ones Safe

As the number of product recalls rise, Consumer Affairs cautions that products originating from many countries can be potentially dangerous, but primarily those being manufactured in the Republic of China are posing an ever increasing risk to the health and safety of consumers.

The recalls are not isolated to any particular brand, product, industry or location. Recalls are being issued world-wide from the European Union to the United States.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the authority that the Bermuda Consumer Affairs references as its primary reference for recall information. Due to the frequency and number of the recalls currently being issued, Consumer Affairs encourages everyone to visit www.cpsc.gov in the hope that proactive consumers will perform their own due diligence and keep informed of the risks some products may pose and the recalls being issued.

Products posing an immediate and significant risk to the general public that are found to be already in distribution on the island, will still be followed up in the usual manner, with recall public notices, and a visit from a Consumer Affairs Enforcement Officer to ensure recall compliance.

Visit www.cpsc.gov for important up-to-the-minute information regarding product recalls and safety news and to sign up for recall notices to be sent to you directly via e-mail.
