Massachusetts Home Inspections does not research product recalls or notices of any kind. My home inspection will not include the identification of, or research for, appliances and any other items installed in your prospective home that may have been be recalled or has a consumer safety alert issued on it. Any comments made in your report regarding well known recalls or notices are simply provided as a courtesy to you (my client) only.
If you are interested in receiving information regarding recalled household appliances, I highly recommend visiting the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls. Consumer alerts and product recalls are added to this website almost daily.
CPSC web site is very easy to use. It has an on-line subscription service that enables you to receive instant email notifications of any recalls or product safety concerns. There are many subscription choices, including subscribing to recalls involving only selected products, e.g., infant/child products, sports and recreation products, outdoor products, household products, and specialty products. There are literally thousands of recalls and safety concerns that have been released since the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission began operating in 1973, and every one of them are listed. Not all recalls and safety concerns make the local headlines of your local newspaper or the news, so it's best to be subscribed to the USPSC.
Massachusetts Home Inspections recommends that you subscribe to all U.S. CPSC press releases, including recalls. This will alert you to all recalls and safety concerns of products that are on the market today.

Dear David,
I just wanted to write a quick thank-you for the professional and informative job that you did at my home inspection on Monday. As a first time home buyer I was incredibly nervous going into the inspection not knowing what to expect - what should I be asking? What should I be looking for? it was all very overwhelming. However, after the first 15 minutes of the inspection, you quickly put all of my fears to rest!
The way that you took the time to point out and explain to me everything that you were looking for, as well as all of the helpful suggestions that you so freely gave out instantly, had put my mind at ease. I was able to feel that I was in good hands and knew that I had a “Professional” doing the job. This was solidified for me at the end of the inspection when you went over your extensive report with me, item by item ensuring that I fully understood what was there.
Your professionalism and expertise was so greatly appreciated. If ever anyone asks for a recommendation please feel free to give them my name, it would be my pleasure to help put another home buyer’s worried mind to ease by letting them know that with Massachusetts Home Inspections, they can count on a professional job well done.
With Kind Regards,
Karen S.
