Has Your (Fill In the Product ) Been Recalled?

Your tomatoes and contaminated (wait, it's the jalapeños -- or maybe the cilantro), your lawn mower's been recalled, and your notebook's power supply could shock you.

As if with the price of gas you didn't have enough to worry about.

The only good news in this blog is a government site with listing of federal recalls. Recalls.gov is a terrific resource with postings in 7 categories, including motor vehicles, food, medicine, and consumer products. Take a look at the recent recalls (in all the categories). [Thanks, Richard S.]

There are other spots to visit:

• SafeCar is loaded with vehicles that have defects or been recalled. They also have a valuable Technical Service Bulletin search page.
• The Consumer Product Safety Commission's lets you easily search on typical consumer products, such as sport equipment, household products, and toys.
• If you're concerned about prescription drugs, check the U.S. Food and Drug Admin's recall site.
