Product Recalls
A product recall occurs when a company identifies that a product poses a safety risk or does not meet quality standards. This could happen due to defects, contamination, or safety hazards. When a recall is issued, the company typically asks consumers to stop using the product and return it for a refund, repair, or replacement. Recalls aim to protect consumers and prevent injuries or health issues. Regulatory bodies, like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the U.S., may also be involved in overseeing the recall process and ensuring public safety.
