Product Recalls
« on: December 04, 2012, 01:31:28 PM »
Is there a central point of reference for products and goods which have been subject to safety recalls by the manufacturers?
Has anyone any knowledge of fire incidents associated with plug in night lights?

This site looks rather amateurish but has an item on night lights
