The National School Safety Coalition, which is led by Consumers Union, recently released the results of a national poll and launched a website to ensure that unsafe products are removed from the reaches of children.
The Consumer Reports Product Recall Poll reported that four out of five Americans do not pay attention to product recalls. The National School Safety Coalition says that this data demonstrates much work is needed to inform and educate people about recalled products that can harm their children. The coalition's new campaign and website, Click Check and Protect, is designed to be a good resource for families, students, and children interested in identifying recalled products.
The survey was conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, and it solicited responses from 2,005 consumers who were randomly contacted by telephone. It revealed that more than half of Americans said they rarely or never filled out product registration cards. Less than one-quarter researched a product they purchased to see if it was recalled. Half of Americans were not confident that manufacturers and retailers shared safety information with government agencies. And two-fifths lacked confidence that manufacturers and retailers provided consumers with appropriate product recall information.
