Privacy Policy

Consumers injured by products are often unaware that the product that caused their injury was subject to a government recall. Manufacturers often do not do enough to advertise their recalls and the issuance of a recall does not preclude a customer from filing a product liability claim if he or she is injured by a defective product.

Many government agencies are responsible for overseeing recalls, including:

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
• The U.S. Coast Guard
• The Food and Drug Administration
• The U.S. Department of Agriculture
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

The ability of each agency to enforce recalls varies and recalls can also be independently initiated by manufacturers. Below are some links to the most helpful websites for learning more about product recalls and product liability law.

Recalls.gov

This website is a service of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. It provides timely information on all U.S. government recalls. It is often easiest to start your search for a recalled item here.

The agency oversees products that pose potential electrical, fire, chemical or mechanical hazards, as well as products that may injure children.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration
