US Government Health & Safety Agency Shutdown

US/Washington: Due to the decision of the Trump Administration to shut down several key health and safety regulatory authorities within the US Federal government, we are unable to supply certain US-based recall notifications and product warnings as usual.

We believe the Administration’s capricious actions unnecessarily endanger the health and safety of hundreds of millions of Americans and will continue to do so for the duration of the Trump shutdown. Currently, the following agencies are affected by the situation:
