  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the federal agency
  responsible for protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury
  or death associated with consumer products such as toys, household items,
  electronics, and furniture. CPSC publishes a public, unauthenticated
  Recalls Retrieval Web Service that exposes recall records (with
  products, hazards, manufacturers, retailers, distributors, importers,
  and remedies) in JSON or XML, plus the SaferProducts.gov OData service
  for incident-report data accessed by application key.
