Recall Wednesday!!!

Last week I recommended the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSV) listserv (www.recall.gov) to receive current recall information on the products in your home. As a current subscriber of this listserv, I will post any recall information I receive on this blog on Wednesdays - hence Recall Wednesday! On the right sidebar of this page I have included a photo, when available, of the product or products recalled within the past week.

Today I have posted the recall for Wire-O Bound Journals and Calendars, made by Galison/Mudpuppy, of New York, N.Y. The notebooks were sold at specialty and gift stores nationwide and on-line from August 2003 through December 2007 for between $7 and $10. I received an email about this recall yesterday, 3/18.
