Frequently Asked Questions About Product Recalls

What is a product recall?

A product recall is a request from a manufacturer or a government agency to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumer. Recalls can be voluntary (initiated by the manufacturer) or mandatory (ordered by a government agency like the CPSC or FDA). The goal of a recall is to remove potentially dangerous products from circulation and provide consumers with a remedy such as a repair, replacement, or refund.

How do I know if my product has been recalled?

You can check for recalls by searching the brand name or product category on RecallCheck, or by visiting official government websites such as CPSC.gov, FDA.gov, and NHTSA.gov. For vehicles, you can enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at NHTSA.gov/recalls. Registering your products with manufacturers also ensures you receive direct recall notifications. Many retailers will also notify you if a product you purchased has been recalled.

What should I do if I own a recalled product?

Stop using the product immediately and follow the instructions provided in the recall notice. This may include returning the product for a full refund, getting a free repair or replacement, or disposing of the product safely. Never attempt to repair a recalled product yourself unless specifically instructed to do so. Keep the product in a safe location where children and pets cannot access it until you have completed the recall remedy.

Which government agencies handle product recalls in the US?

The primary agencies are: the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for household products and toys; the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for vehicles and related equipment; the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for meat, poultry, and egg products; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for pesticides and emission-related products; and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for recreational boats and marine equipment.

Can I still get a refund or replacement for an older recalled product?

It depends on the specific recall. Some recalls have no expiration date, meaning you can receive a remedy at any time. Others may have specific deadlines for claiming a refund or replacement. Contact the manufacturer directly or check the recall notice for details. For vehicles, NHTSA recalls generally have no time limit, and dealers must perform the recall repair for free regardless of the vehicle's age.

How can I report a dangerous product?

You can report unsafe products to the appropriate government agency. For general consumer products, visit SaferProducts.gov or call the CPSC at 1-800-638-2772. For food and drug concerns, use the FDA's MedWatch system. For vehicle safety issues, file a complaint at NHTSA.gov or call 1-888-327-4236. Reporting dangerous products helps protect other consumers and may lead to recalls that prevent injuries.
