A product recall is typically issued when a product poses a risk to the health or safety of consumers. This can include instances where a product has been found to be defective, contaminated, or does not meet safety standards. The specific circumstances that lead to a recall will vary depending on the product and the situation. In most cases, a product recall is initiated by the manufacturer or the regulatory authorities responsible for product safety, such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the United States or the European Commission in Europe. Recalls can also be voluntary or mandated by the regulatory authorities.
A product recall is typically issued when a manufacturer or distributor determines that a product is defective, unsafe, or fails to meet applicable safety standards. The decision to issue a recall is made to protect consumers from potential harm or hazards associated with the product. Product recalls can be called for various reasons, such as defects that could cause injury or illness, contamination, labeling errors, misleading advertising, or failure to meet regulatory requirements.
