"As of today, you can report dangerous and potentially harmful products on the Consumer Products Safety Commission&amp;#039;s (CPSC) new website, saferproducts.gov. This site serves as a searchable database so that other consumers can find out about your experience and avoid a potential safety problem. Until now, it was necessary to contact the CPSC to report or inquire about safety issues. Then if the Commission or manufacturer deemed it necessary, a recall would be issued. However short of a recall, there was no easy way for consumers to learn about others&amp;#039; complaints. If you have a safety concern about a product, visit saferproducts.gov and submit a report. Within five days the CPSC will forward your complaint to the manufacturer of the product, which then has ten days to respond. If the company responds by saying it is not the manufacturer of the product, the CPSC will take steps to find the correct company. Since the site just went live today, there are presently no complaints listed. But in a quick tour, I found it very easy to navigate which should encourage you and other consumers to use it both for reporting and researching. As you&amp;#039;re able to search using many filters including &amp;#039;Company&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Brand&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Location&amp;#039;, etc. you can quickly find information on a specific product or type of product. We&amp;#039;ll be sure to keep an eye on this new site and let you know how it&amp;#039;s progressing and developing. Be sure to check out Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s other articles on product safety and the development of this website: Approved: Ruling on New Consumer Products Safety Database, Safer Children&amp;#039;s Products, What does the CPSIA mean for you? And if you&amp;#039;re planning to come to the NYC area, arrange to come by Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) and take a tour of our labs. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
