CPSC 2.0 Launches Agency into Social Media

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) launched CPSC 2.0, a social networking initiative that will make safety information more accessible to consumers, according to the agency.

“Through social media, CPSC can directly reach millions of the moms, dads and others who need our safety information the most,” said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum.

Consumers can find CPSC on its “OnSafety” blog, which has messages, articles, videos, podcasts and other information. The site also has a ‘Recall Widget’ tool that anyone can easily add to a Web site. CPSC will also have an official presence on a YouTube channel, a Twitter page and a Flickr page.
