A quick click here will update you on the latest recalled peanut products and keep you updated. It takes you to the Food and Drug Administration’s “peanut page.” That page and all of its links will serve you in good stead as you try to avoid the salmonella outbreak that’s killed 9 people in the United States at last count and sickened hundreds of others who ate products made from peanuts. A daily check could keep you out of the doctor’s office if not the hospital while the FBI, congressional hearings and other federal agencies try to get to the bottom of salmonella poisoning that apparently could have been avoided.
And a quick click on the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall list for dangerous household items is definitely worth the trip to avoid 12 items with serious defects. The list includes clamps for halogen lamps from Staples, explosive aromatherapy kits, lead contaminated necklaces, recliners that tip over backwards and Cost Plus and World Market Stores blinds that can strangle children. Other common household items on the list may surprise you, including defective products that can burn your house down.
