From choking hazards in toys, to Chinese fire extinguishers that explode, my office tracks product recalls every month so Idaho consumers can have confidence that their purchases won’t involve a trip to the emergency room or worse. Consumer Protection is just one of the divisions in my office devoted to looking out for Idaho families.
Consumer alert:
Attorney General Raúl Labrador shares the September 2026 federal recall list of 51 hazardous products, including 17 designed for infants and children and, ironically, a fire extinguisher that poses an explosion hazard.

This $31 million investment from the @US_EDA is a significant win for Idaho’s future and furthers our state’s role as a national leader in advanced nuclear energy. The INEC Tech Hub will build on our unmatched expertise in small modular reactors to reinforce U.S. energy security. Thank you, Secretary @HowardLutnick, and the many public and private partners who made this critical milestone possible.

Here's some more from the 9th Street bridge. There's been a guy sleeping there every night for months. He's still there. The homeless are so comfortable that they just leave their belongings, knowing noone will steal them.
