Product recalls are issued by the government
and/or a company on a product that has been
determined to be a safety issue to the end user.
Such products include baby items that might be
swallowed, grocery items that may contain bacteria
or even automobiles that may have a safety defect.
Manufacturers issue product recalls at the request
of government agencies such as the FDA or as the
result of reports or studies validating a safety flaw
in the product. Manufacturers are usually
reluctant to issue recalls because of the great
expense of a recall and the acknowledgement of a
safety issue with the product. Voluntary recalls
by a company are an attempt to protect the product end
users from further harm and to limit the product
liability the company may have as a result of
negligence related to the product.
Federal and state consumer protection laws provide
redress and other protections to consumers from
potentially harmful products. While manufactures
may make voluntary recalls of defective products, some
government agencies can call for compulsory recalls
for seriously dangerous products.
