We expect manufacturers to know what they’re stocking the shelves with. We trust those products to be safe. But things have a way of slipping through the cracks.
Fortunately, several federal regulatory agencies monitor for and recall products that pose a risk to consumers.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is one example. Federal law requires manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers to notify the agency of potentially dangerous consumer goods within 24 hours of discovery. The CPSC and other regulatory agencies, like the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, then publish recall reports.
Recalls happen more often than you might think — but don’t feel like you have to constantly check for new recall reports. Money Talks News has you covered.
