Product Recalls or Defective Items

BoatTube.com is committed to safety and we encourage you to visit www.recalls.gov the web site of the government regulatory agencies responsible for product recalls. Visitors can find additional safety information and sign up for product recall e-mail alerts.

The best way to make sure you receive notification of a product defect or recall is by returning the "product registration" card that came with your product. Manufacturers will mail safety notifications and recall notices for a product to the addresses filled out on these cards. If you do not register your products, you should pay close attention to recall announcements on television and radio news reports. You can also check out news on product safety websites or look for safety notification and recall information on the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov or call its hotline at 1-800-638-2772.
