Stay Safe! How to Learn About Consumer Product Recalls

Do you know if a product has been recalled due to a major safety concern?

Not everything is as safe as we think it is.

Products are routinely recalled due to safety concerns.

Examples includes electrical lamps, child car seats, vacuums, baby rockers and bicycles.

Sometimes the risk to consumers is low but in other cases the risk of death or major injury is very high.

The US Product Safety Commission recalls products due to safety concerns and posts this information on their website.

Often the company can send a repair part to make the product safe or refund purchases if there is a major death or injury risk.

Check out recalls at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's website: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls

Recalls are posted and you can search for product recalls based on dates, categories and categories.

In addition, you can sign up for recall emails: https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe

How to Turn On Stereo Sound for Your iPhone

Are you hearing stereo sound on your iPhone?

You might not be.

By default, Apple turns off stereo sound and leaves audio as mono sound.

This is so that all sounds play in both the left and right ear. That's great for people who have hearing issues.

But what if you want stereo sound?

Here's how to turn it on so that stereo sounds are played through the left and right channels.

Go to Setting
Select Accessibility
Select Audio/Visual
Mono Audio:
- Turn off to use stereo sound
- Turn on to combine the left and right channels to play the same sound content.

That's it. Enjoy your stereo sounds!
