Ready to buy a used vehicle or other second-hand product? Check to be sure it hasnt been recalled for safety reasons. Some recalls ban the sale of an item while others ask consumers to return the item for replacement or repair. Sometimes a seller provides a part that reduces the danger of using the product. Two websites post information on current recalls:
- http://www.recalls.gov/ -- This site lists government- initiated recalls, streamlining access to information from federal agencies.
- http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/ -- A listing of both government-and industry-initiated recalls.
