The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has developed an online link with auction Web sites eBay Inc., San Jose, CA, and Seattle-based Amazon.com Auctions to warn consumers to about dangerous products being sold online.
Both sites will link to the CPSC’s Web site (http://www.cspc.gov) which will prominently post information about recalled products. The agency said it will focus initially on children’s products, including toys; tools; exercise equipment; and household items. The CPSC said it is urging other online auction sites to join this initiative.
