I just responded to another mom with this website. It does not have recalls, but deals with the safety of personal care products (shampoos, soaps, makeups, etc.) and includes both children's and adult's products. It has been a Godsend to us, since my husband is chemically sensitive. It is www.safercosmetics.org and it has a lot of good information. We have learned a lot from it, and had to toss some seemingly innocuous products. Please take a look and pass this on to your friends.

You can sign up to receive recall info at http://www.cpsc.gov/. You can get recall information for a variety of categories (one is toys/kids) through your email.

Someone else may have already mentioned this, but the CPSC (Consumer Protection Service)allows you to sign up for free emails of recalls. You can choose the product categories you are interested in. It is free. I highly recommend it. Good luck.

The national data base for product safety, recalls and alerts is: http://www.fda.gov.

This is the place that issues alerts on product safety for devices and medications, both over the counter and prescribed. I keep this website on my bookmarks and refer to it frequently.

Hi J.,
I have e-mails sent to me directly from www.CPSC.gov. (Consumer Product Safety Committee) You can sign up for child specific recalls. It's amazing how many there are on a weekly basis! Fortunately, most of the notifications I receive haven't been directly linked to infant toys, etc. recently! Good luck!

Hi
A good site that I found to be helpful is http://www.familywatchdog.us/. With this you can type in any address and see if there are any registered sexual predators in the area. I believe that it is very importnat to know this type of information in this day and age. Hope that helps.

Hi J. -
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
I am a first-time mom to a beautiful 5 month old boy.
The web address you need is: www.recalls.gov
In addition to that site you should also check out www.askdrsears.com for parenting tips and info.
I did a bunch of research on vaccines and the best resource out there is a book by Dr. Sears titled The Vaccine Book. I believe so strongly in the information in this book that I regularly buy copies to give to people. There are also websites for the FDA and CDC (Center for Disease Control) and many more websites that will stem from that.
Best wishes to you and hope you have a good delivery.
- K.
