Recalls on Home Products

Here is a great resource for any homeowner.  Your home is filled with products, and many of them are directly associated with the function of your home.  Smoke detectors, doors, kitchen appliances, and locks to name a few.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has a dedicated place for announcing product recalls.  Here’s the link: http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/

And behold, today a recall was issued for a limited number of Bosch Security System fire alarms.  The alarms failed to alert after installation tests and are being recalled.

They also have a place to search for past recalls based on product or company.  So it can be a handy stop if you suspect an issue with a product in your home as well.

I thought it was a good little known resource.
