Toll Free Product Recall Information

Toll free telephone numbers have always been a staple for product recalls. Corporations and retailers always have a toll free line dedicated to providing  consumer information on faulty or inadequate products. This summer, with a slew of product recalls ranging from food items to children’s play equipment, these toll free telephone numbers are proving invaluable. Consumers need fast, free information on items and food that may be harmful. For a list of consumer protection toll free numbers, go to www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm.

Hurricane Resource and Relief Toll Free Numbers Available

At the start of hurricane season, weather forecasters have just predicted a high rate of hurricanes this summer of 2010–double the typical amount of strong storms for southern California and the East Coast. But government officials are offering toll free phone numbers in many states for information on resources, preparation and relief. Call 1-800-FED-INFO for information on hurricane resources before the 2010s storms hit. These numbers are just one way the federal state and local officials use toll free to stay connected to their constituents throughout the United States.
