Product Recalls Lawyer
In the United States, a product can be recalled when a large quantity of the units produced are deemed dangerous for consumers. Recalls can be issued by the product manufacturer or by the government. When the government recalls a product, they do it through the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is an independent agency of the government that seeks to promote the safety of consumer products by addressing unreasonable risks of injury, developing uniform safety standards and conducting research into product related illness and injury. Medications, medical products and food products are recalled by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
Once a product is recalled, the manufacturer or government will notify those who purchased the product what they should do. Usually, it is recommended that the consumer throws the product away, returns the product for a replacement or returns the product to be repaired.
Any item produced for sale to consumers can be recalled but commonly recalled products include medical supplies, medication, cosmetics and mechanical parts.
