Recalled Items

NWMarketplace strongly supports the efforts of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) to protect consumers against potentially hazardous goods. NWMarketplace does not permit the listing of items that have been identified by the CPSC as hazardous to consumers and therefore subject to a recall.

You can get product recall and safety news directly from the Consumer Products Safety Commission by signing up for their “Drive for One Million Campaign”. 

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

• Listing cancellation

• Limits on account privileges

• Account suspension

• Forfeit of NWMarketplace fees on cancelled listings

Items that have been the subject of CPSC action include (but are not limited to):

• lawn darts

• baby products (such as defective cribs, infant carriers, and car seats)

• propane heaters

Sellers on NWMarketplace should take a few minutes to check with the CPSC and ensure that the products they're selling have not been the subjects of a CPSC recall. The CPSC, an independent federal regulatory agency, protects consumers by issuing warnings about goods that might be hazardous and even issuing recalls of certain products. Buyers on NWMarketplace should educate themselves about recalled products in areas where they might be doing some buying. The CPSC's About Me page was created specifically to alert potentially hazardous items that might inadvertently get listed on NWMarketplace. It also has a link to the CPSC Web site that's loaded with helpful safety tips and a searchable database of recalled products.

• All child safety seats that are not authorized for sale in the U.S. are strictly prohibited on NWMarketplace. Get more information on car seats from SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A.

• Also consider consulting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website to learn information about recalled motor vehicles, child safety seats, vehicle equipment and tires.
