Your Product Recall Rights

Chief consumer reporter explains everything you need to know.

Product recalls are a vital means of protecting consumers from hazardous goods.

As a general guideline, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer typically bears the primary responsibility for the recall process.

However, it is often up to retailers to inform customers when products may pose a risk.

If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.

For appliances, rather than just food items, it is generally the customer's responsibility to register the appliance with the manufacturer. If you do not, there is no way for them to contact you regarding any faults.

If you learn that an item you own has been recalled or a safety notice has been issued, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

They should offer more information and a contact number in their safety notice.

In some instances, the manufacturer may request that you return the item for a full refund or arrange for the collection of the faulty product.

You should not incur any charges for recall-related work, such as repairs, replacements, or collection of the recalled item.
