Why Paying Attention to Recall Notices Is Important

If you are like most Americans, you are far busier than you would like to be. There are so many things that need to be done every day, week, month, and year that it can be hard to keep track. One task many people should make time for is reviewing the “CPSC” recalls of dangerous and defective products.

CPSC stands for the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It is the government agency that is most directly tasked with ensuring the safety of manufactured goods in the U.S. – excluding food and medical products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and auto parts that are generally regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

By taking just a few minutes each month to scroll headlines concerning the CPSC’s latest efforts and major product recalls, you could end up saving your own life or the lives of people whom you care about.

Injury Prevention

The CPSC publishes recall notices on its website. Each individual notice details information about the potential hazards that have been identified, what consumers should do to remedy the issue(s), and the kinds of harm that have been reported as a result of the particular product in question.

Major recall efforts generally make headlines, but this CPSC website feature allows consumers to check on less visible recalls if they are concerned about how a product is functioning. By paying attention to this information, consumers may be able to prevent hazardous products from causing harm to their loved ones in the wake of such products being identified as dangerous or defective.

Additionally, consumers who pay attention to recall notices in the wake of sustaining harm may learn that they are not alone in suffering as a result of a specific product. This knowledge may empower them to seek legal guidance and, ultimately, justice.
