We have a lot of fun around here, but making sure people are informed about dangerous products is what this is all about.

Reposted from Micah Nemerever

the @cpsc.gov account is wild because six days of the week it's delightfully dorky educational memes and then on Thursdays they post recalls with a list of ways the defective products can kill you horribly

You're a national treasure. Don't ever change.

By posting weekly recall notices on Thursday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is simply putting its own spin on social media's tradition of Throwback Thursday.

“Remember that thing you bought? It might hurt/kill you”

Don't rely just on social media. Sign up for recall emails: https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe

Have you ever had to recall an email?

tiare75.bsky.social•71 days ago

To be honest, I’m going to pay more attention to a Bluesky post than an email.

any chance you can get a real RSS feed set up? the "RSS" page on the website is some kind of javascript widget and can't be loaded by an RSS feed reader

Full transparency haven't checked on these in a bit. Let us know if what you need is here and working! https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/CPSC-RSS-Feed

oh this looks awesome, thank you!

I love what you guys do. I just got my fix for my stove burner knobs in the mail just days after I submitted the super easy online form. Thanks for all you do.

Sure sometimes CPSC’s memes are a little ‘corny’ and yeah CPSC has never been mentioned on Jeopardy, and yes sometimes the CPSC’s Bluesky account wins the platform for the day with their posting prowess, regardless of all that, ‘safety first’ is the only vibe I get from CPSC. Thank you CPSC.

People need to remember that safety regs are written in blood.

Every time I cook on the stove I have “unattended cooking is the number one cause of house fires” stuck in my head

I want you to know that your posts are always wonderful and exactly what we need to make product safety fun and memorable!

And it works! I followed for "government agents being silly", then y'all posted a recall for a battery pack I gifted my mom for her birthday.

It's now out of her house, in the garage, away from flammables. Will swing by Saturday to pick it up and refund it.

Thanks!
