To see if any products you've purchased or are considering purchasing are subject to recall go to: www.recalls.gov, tracks recent actions taken by all those agencies.

"Americans demand top-quality service from the private sector. They should get the same top-quality service from their government." -- President George W. Bush

For more information on this subject matter, please refer to the section on Drugs, Medical Devices, and Implants.

Therefore, to provide better service in alerting the American people to unsafe, hazardous or defective products, six federal agencies with vastly different jurisdictions have joined together to create www.recalls.gov -- a "one stop shop" for U.S. Government recalls.
