Register for product safety recall alerts – it’s easy!
Everyone buys products, BUT do you know when something you have bought might be recalled by the supplier?
Most recalls aren’t covered on the TV or radio news. We can’t read every newspaper. But suppliers are required by law to notify the government when they initiate a product recall.
The government makes this information freely available to the public via its Product Recalls website.
By registering for category alerts at Product Recalls Australia, you will be notified any time a product is recalled. You can even select which types of products you want to be notified about.
