This is for anyone who performs recall inspections for their clients.
I don’t know if anyone is interested in this, but I put together a list of household items that have been recalled by CPSC.
It is easy to add new notices and it contains active links to recalls. You can add or remove any items that are irrelevant to you. I have not deleted anything from it yet, but I know there are some items that should be.
In addition, I created a field worksheet consisting of all the headings on the document.
I use Inspectvue, and was able to create a Section called “recalls”. I then created Categories for each heading, and then add a narrative if a recalled item is found.
It helps me alot, at least until I memorize most recalls. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to improve it.
The file is too large to attach, so I created a link ( I hope it works) to my website where it can be viewed. If you are not able to copy it from my site, email me or pm me and I can email you a copy.
Not really. There are not many recalls on a daily basis, and even fewer that concern real estate. Most of them are about various toys, camping equipment, etc.
Several years ago one of my employees created a binder with all the appropriate recalls in it in case the CPSC web site was down (which it seemed to be quite often at that time). I still keep the binder current.
