Consumer Safety Alerts: Staying Informed About Product Recalls
How to stay informed about product recalls and safety alerts that could affect you and your family.
Why Product Recalls Matter
Product recalls are issued when manufacturers or regulatory agencies determine that a product poses a safety risk. Staying informed about recalls can help protect you and your family from potential harm.
Where to Find Recall Information
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) all maintain databases of recalled products. Check these resources regularly.
What to Do If You Own a Recalled Product
Stop using the product immediately, follow the manufacturer's instructions for returns or repairs, keep documentation of your purchase and any issues, and report any injuries to the appropriate agency.
Reporting Safety Concerns
If you believe a product is dangerous, report it to the appropriate regulatory agency. Your report could help protect other consumers from harm.
