Finding a List of Consumer Product Recalls

By Pinewood Furniture

Want to see a list of consumer product recalls?

You’re in luck.

To provide better service in alerting the American people to unsafe, hazardous, or defective products, six federal agencies with vastly different jurisdictions have joined together to create www.recalls.gov, which is a “one stop shop” for U.S. Government recalls.

There are tabs for consumer products, motor vehicles, boats, food, medicine, cosmetics, and environmental products.

When you buy hardwood furniture from Pinewood Furniture, you’ll never have to worry about the issues that land a lot of these products on the recall list.

Solid wood furniture has many benefits that other types of furniture do not. With solid wood, you’ll find that it is much more attractive than manufactured wood. The overlays and veneers that are used on things like fiberboard to be rather cheap looking, and with things like plywood, you can clearly see where the sheets have been layered together.

With solid hardwood, you can be sure that people will see a continuous grain pattern all the way through, showing them the strength and the quality of the wood that you have chosen. The look of hardwood and the craftsmanship that goes into making it is incredible.

Also, solid wood furniture will last for ages. Hardwood furniture is the furniture that you buy when you want to have something that will one day be an antique for your family.

Even though solid wood does show wear, it can be sanded and refinished. Unlike manufactured wood, which is a very here today, gone tomorrow, solid wood can be repaired and restored.

Many people feel that genuine hardwood furniture only gets better with age, and when you want to make your furniture an investment, this is the way to go.

You should also think about the safety and the health of your family. Consider the content of formaldehyde in wood. Many types of wood, like plywood and particleboard, use formaldehyde as a method of treating the wood and keeping parasites out. With solid wood furniture, this is not an issue.

The amount of formaldehyde that can go into wood can be intense, and you’ll be happier and healthier when it is certain that your solid wood furniture has none in it.
