CHECKING THE RECALLS

     Infected food that kills people, children’s toys with lead paint – they’re scary. I can’t get out of my mind the mother who fixed her four-year-old a spinach smoothie. She thought she was doing such a healthy thing for her little boy, but that smoothie killed him: the spinach was infected with E. coli. So that won’t happen to you, here’s the U.S. government site that lists recalls government-wide. If you don’t regularly read the kind of newspaper that writes up important recalls, you may want to sign up for the automatic e-mails about them, especially for the food recalls.
