Do You Buy Products on Craigslist? [View all]

Then you need this URL:

http://www.saferproducts.gov

Keep it handy, because a news report this morning showed that the method used by Craigslist to prohibit postings of dangerous, defective products is not as good as what is used by eBay and Amazon.

I find Craigslist to be very helpful for certain items, but this is a reality and everyone needs to know about it.

If you would like to see the newscast, go to:

I don't think Craig Newmark is a bad guy, but this wasn't handled the best way.
