Keeping up to date with the latest product recalls is essential in keeping our homes safe. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) plays a key role in this by regularly issuing recalls across a diverse range of products. We’ve rounded up products in our most-watched categories here at Bob Vila and will be updating the list regularly to keep you informed. For the most current information between our updates, you can consult the CPSC website.
If you discover that a product in your home has been recalled, the first step is to stop using it immediately. Then, follow the instructions found in the official recall notice. This typically involves contacting the manufacturer or distributor in order to arrange for a repair, refund, or replacement.
