The CyberGuy Kurt Knutsson provides insights into the latest tech news on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend.’ In this segment, he discusses a Chinese spy targeting officials on LinkedIn, the use of AI for financial advice, and an app that allows users to ‘text’ Jesus and Satan. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is concerned about the safety risks posed by some of the largest online shopping companies. They have sent letters to 17 companies, including Meta, Amazon, Walmart, and Target, asking about their efforts to prevent the sale of dangerous products on their platforms. The committee wants to ensure that consumers are not exposed to potential harm. The letter asks a variety of questions regarding recalled products and requests the companies’ cooperation in finding a solution. The committee specifically addresses Meta’s inability to prevent the purchase of recalled children’s products, such as the Fisher-Price Rock ‘n Play sleeper and Boppy Newborn Lounger. eBay is also under fire for selling dangerous products that have been recalled. Congress believes this is a larger issue that affects many online shopping sites. The companies have until August 31 to respond to the committee’s inquiries. In response to the allegations, Meta and eBay defend themselves and highlight their efforts to promote product safety and protect consumers from unsafe products. Buying recalled products online poses serious health and safety risks. These products have been found to be defective, hazardous, or in violation of mandatory standards. They can cause injuries or even death, and may also pose fire, electric shock, choking, or poisoning hazards. It is important to check reliable sources, such as the CPSC website, before making online purchases, especially for children or infants. The House Energy and Commerce Committee’s actions aim to address this issue and protect consumers from buying recalled or banned products. The hope is that this will lead to better regulation and enforcement of online marketplaces. The pressure being put on these companies is a step in the right direction, but more may need to be done.
