SaferProductsgov

SaferProducts.gov is an online safety database maintained by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). It collects and shares information about potentially dangerous consumer products and safety incidents in the United States. The site is designed to help consumers, researchers, and manufacturers identify hazards, assess risk, and avoid products that may pose harm. Reports in the database describe specific products, hazards, injuries, and exposures, and may include details such as brand, model number, purchase location, date, and country of occurrence. The database also includes recall notices and safety advisories issued by the CPSC.

Launched in 2011 as part of efforts to increase transparency in product safety, SaferProducts.gov centralizes consumer-reported incidents and official recall information. Users can search by product category, hazard, brand, model number, or geographic area, and can submit new incident reports or respond to existing entries. Submitted reports are reviewed by CPSC staff; the public can view updates and, in some cases, the status of investigations or recalls.

Data in the database may originate from consumer submissions, regulatory actions, or manufacturer responses. Not all reports are verified, and the quality and completeness of information can vary. The site aims to complement official recall data and hazard alerts by providing a broader, user-contributed perspective on product safety issues.

Overall, SaferProducts.gov serves as a publicly accessible tool for monitoring product safety, informing purchasing decisions, and supporting safer products through transparency and consumer feedback.
