Recent Recalled Products That Might Be Putting Your Family in Danger
Every year, hundreds of products are taken off shelves and out of the market overall due to being too dangerous for safe use. Products can be dangerously defective due to design, a manufacturing error, lack of instructions given to the consumer, and so forth. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is tasked with identifying these defects, or reviewing products reported as defective by consumers, and creating mandatory recalls in response.
Some recent product recalls you and your family should know about include:
