When consumers purchase products, they have certain rights to ensure their safety and well-being. These rights are protected by consumer protection laws, which vary from country to country. In the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is responsible for enforcing these laws and ensuring that products meet safety standards.
If a product is found to be defective and poses a risk to consumers, the CPSC may issue a product recall. Product recalls are voluntary or mandatory actions taken by manufacturers to remove unsafe products from the market. Consumers who have purchased a recalled product should immediately stop using it and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
