STEAMING MAD! Consumers way of thinking about recalls must be updated!

We are STEAMING MAD!

WHY?

"Six Reported Deaths Prompt Urgent Re-announcement of Blair Recall of Women’s Chenille Robes" http://www.totalrecallinfo.com/recalls.php?id=12051

We announced this recall in April along with the CPSC.

We have contacted the governments of several countrys, senators, media outlets, government & corporate recall sources, etc. all in the hopes that one or two may let you, the consumer, know there now exists a One-Stop Recall Service that would eliminate such deadly headlines.

Instead of helping you, these entitys decided to keep you in the dark about our life saving service!

As sad as these are, I suggest to you these six deaths could have been avoided.

Every Government/ Media outlet we contacted in our 2 years of operation, has some of these poor souls blood on their hands.

Shame!

This is less a promo, and more of a community service, as we offer free and paid services.

Of course, we are like any other corporation. We want to maximize profits like anyone. But we never falter from our goal, and that is keeping consumers in the know about all recalls
worldwide.

STEAMING MAD (part 2)

Somebody emails us the other day. "Why don't you put flags on your recalls so we know which ones are dangerous"

I tell you what I told him.

Who am I, or the Government, or the Media to decide for you what is dangerous to you, or your family?

One persons allergy alert is anothers e-coli recall! You have the final word, as long as you ARE AWARE, is the key.

Another thing.

Do you think companys announce a recall that will cost them (sometimes millions) for the fun of it? Maybe get some publicity?

No!

They announce recalls because they ARE dangerous, sometimes more than is lead to believe.

But they also rely on OUR old, antiquated way of thinking about recalls to avoid lost profits!

"That recall doesn't affect us"
"Recalls are usually not dangerous, they tell us about dangerous ones"
"I don't have the time to look up recalls"

The simple fact is companys must announce a recall by law!

MOST do not want you to know about it!

It still baffles us that people will go to great lengths to make sure their child is safe on the drive to the store, but not be concerned that a product from that store may harm them!

Consumers way of thinking about recalls must be updated!
