MAIN Home Life Shopping Product Recalls

In the U.S. alone, dangerously overheating computer batteries, tainted supermarket produce, toys and pet foods are only the latest in a list of product recalls that have recently been in the news.

Watchdog government agencies are usually the ones responsible for alerting the public to the latest consumer safety hazards, although most companies (if they want to stay in business) will voluntarily issue a recall if they think their product will do harm to consumers, whether it be dangerously defective merchandise, or foods that are unsafe to eat.
