Dangers Posed by Recalled Products
There isn’t any excuse for a manufacturer not to report an unsafe or potentially dangerous product to consumers. Even when a problem is reported, it can take months before an official product recall takes pladeserves better.
Act now. New recalled weight loss drug, Meridia, linked to heart attacks and strokes.
According to an analysis by Consumers Union, in 2008 there was a record of 563 product recalls for 43 million unsafe products (up 19 percent from the previous year.)
Besides the highly visible cases like Toyota’s recent product recall consisting of more than 10 million recalled vehicles covering 17 different models because of unexpected acceleration and other unsafe products, there are daily reports of less visible, potentially dangerous products. For instance, here are some very recent recalled products at www.recalls.gov.
