How Do You Test Tire Tread With a Coin?

What Does a Voluntary Recall Mean?

When a dangerous product is introduced onto store shelves, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can force companies to remove it from the market. However, many companies don’t wait for the FDA to act. Instead, they choose to issue voluntary recalls, proactively removing products they believe could pose risks to consumers.

These voluntary recalls serve as a safety mechanism in our consumer protection system. While the FDA oversees the process, companies can initiate recalls for any potential safety concern, whether a manufacturing defect, contamination risk, or design flaw could harm consumers. This proactive approach protects public safety and helps companies manage liability and maintain consumer trust.

Understanding how voluntary recalls work is essential for consumers. Whether you’ve purchased a recalled product or been injured by one, knowing your rights and the proper steps to take can significantly improve your safety and help you obtain any compensation you may be entitled to. […]

Many injured workers are surprised to learn they might qualify to receive benefits even if they can still perform some job duties.
