Consumer Product Safety Commission Establishes Program To Alert Consumers of Critical Product Recall Information By E-Mail

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has begun its "Drive to One Million," an effort to encourage at least 1 million consumers to sign-up for automatic e-mails from the agency that will warn about product recalls.  As the CPSC describes it:

The goal: to sign-up at least 1 million consumers to receive life-saving information electronically through CPSC’s e-mail notification project. Consumers can receive notice of recall information as it is released. . . . Signing up is free, it’s fast, and it could save your life or the life of a family member.

Blogged it. It's so nice to see something useful come out of our government now and then to balance out all the bad stuff. I seriously can't see one downside to this at all. They don't even ask you to register your products.
