# Welcome. An editor's note from the Recall Canary team.

Welcome, and thanks for being here. We built Recall Canary because staying on
top of product recalls shouldn't require checking five government websites
every week. Our [main feed](/) already tracks recalls from the FDA, USDA, CPSC,
and NHTSA in real time. This blog is where we'll go deeper. You'll find
practical safety advice for checking your home, car, and pantry. We'll dig
into trend reports on which product categories are seeing more recalls and
why. And as we build new features, we'll share those updates here too.

The recall notices give you the facts. The blog gives you the bigger picture:
the patterns, the takeaways, and the stuff worth paying attention to even
when it doesn't make headlines. If you're new to Recall Canary, here are a
few posts to start with:

- [The recall system](/blog/how-us-recall-system-works/) covers the five
  agencies, the classification system, and where the gaps are.
- [What to do next](/blog/what-to-do-when-product-recalled/) walks you
  through every step, from confirming your product is affected to getting
  your refund.
- [The return problem](/blog/why-90-percent-recalled-products-never-returned/)
  explains why most recalls fail to reach people, and how to make sure
  you're not part of that statistic.

Subscribe to email alerts to get notified about new recalls, or bookmark
this page for regular updates. We also have an [RSS feed](/blog/rss.xml) if
that's more your speed. Glad you're here.
