Recent Consumer Product Recalls

Defective products are those which can cause injury to consumers who use them as directed. Thousands of consumer products are recalled every year due to safety hazards. These products range from household goods to auto parts, appliances, cosmetics, groceries, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, motor vehicles, children's gear, and more. The federal government alerts consumers to the latest products that have been recalled and provides a means for the public to report defective or dangerous products that may pose a hazard. Recalls.gov and cpsc.gov (Consumer Product Safety Commission) are two websites devoted to this endeavor.

Recent consumer products as of January 15, 2013 that have been recalled include two-piece pajama sets sold at Target stores due to their violation of federal standards regarding flammability; Bugaboo strollers due to hazards connected with choking and falling; Fisher-Price Rock 'N Play Infant Sleepers due to their risk for mold; LG top-loading washers due to potential risk for injury; KTM Enduro motorcycles due to fuel leak, fire, and crash hazard; and Polaris Ranger recreational off-highway vehicles due to defective throttles which can cause loss of control.
