Get info on product safety recalls, more with mobile apps from federal gov't

| | Comments (0)
You can find recall info via your mobile phone by downloading an app that lets you type in the name of a product. You'll then learn if there's been a recall on that item.

You can also download an app that provides Transportation Security Agency information -- something that might come in handy if you're en route to a flight, need info and can't get to a laptop.

Those are a couple of the new online/mobile efforts being made by the feds to make info more accessible. Details on those two, along with notes on several other developments -- including info from the Food and Drug Administration on drug safety, air quality data and crime data -- are here.
