Mission: Consumers Union created NotInMyCart.org to give you a place to check for recent product recalls and take action to make all products safer in the future. The U.S. market is now flooded with imported products--tens of millions of items arriving in cargo ships stacked high with containers. Recalls, after a dangerous product is found on store shelves, are important, but not enough. Manufacturers, retailers, government and ordinary Americans must all take responsibility to keep our children and our homes safe, and we've tried to make it easy for you to help.
