After millions of product recalls of drop-side cribs through the years, last week the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced new rules that outlaw drop-side cribs last week.You can watch video of the decision here.The CPSC posts product recalls almost every day. Generally, the company that produces the product handles the recall and this month CPSC has already posted 18 product recalls. The CPSC also handles a lot of consumer complaints about products, but the nature of this function will change in the upcoming months. Currently, you can report problems with products to the CPSC but soon CPSC is going to let you see these reports.
Early next year you will be able go to Saferproducts.gov and file a report telling CPSC and other consumers about harmful and potentially harmful consumer products. The CPSC would then give your comment to the manufacturer, post your comment and the manufacturer's response to it in a database. People will be able to search products and see what has been said about them before they buy it. This video will give you more details.
How do you research product safety?"
