A recall is a process where a company retrieves a product from the market due to safety concerns or defects. This can happen with various items, including food, vehicles, and electronics. When a recall is issued, the company typically informs consumers about the issue and provides instructions on how to return or dispose of the product safely. Recalls are often initiated after reports of injuries or problems arise, prompting regulatory agencies like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or the Food and Drug Administration to step in. Consumers are encouraged to stay informed about recalls to ensure their safety and the safety of others.
