ACCC Recalls Australia app for iPhone and iPad

Get the latest on Australian product recalls! The Recalls Australia app will help you stay on top of the latest recall information, especially when you’re on the move. The app enables you to search the national recalls database by product name or category. It also includes a function to report an unsafe product, including a photograph (if relevant) to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

Developed by the ACCC, the app draws on information contained on the Recalls Australia website (www.recalls.gov.au).

IMPORTANT: Please note that the app can take a while to download and open the first time you use it, as it downloads the recalls database to your device. You may prefer to do this when connected to a wireless network rather than via your 3G connection. Once you’ve opened the app the first time, it only downloads details of new recalls (thus saving you bandwidth) and so opens immediately.
