Product Recall Liability

Product recall liability relates specifically to products that have been deemed dangerous enough to warrant a recall. Most product recall liability addresses the manufacturer of the item that was (or should have been) recalled. In some product recall liability cases, the distributors of the product are also named. The driving principle of product recall liability laws is that those who profit from the sale of products are accountable to the end users. Product recall liability highlights the need for responsible manufacturing and ethical marketing in ensuring consumer health and safety.

Product recall liability cases are necessary in part because most product recalls are considered "voluntary." The bulk of the product recall liability therefore falls to the manufacturer; the industry is expected to police itself. Generally, issues of product recall liability arise when manufacturers deem it more profitable to continue manufacturing or selling unsafe products. When product recall liability insurance won''t cover recall costs a manufacturer or retailer may decide to risk lawsuits. Product recall liability charges can also be filed if the manufacturer delays too long or acts without urgency. Product recall liability cases that can prove this callous disregard for consumer safety often recover large punitive damages.

Product recall liability suits improve responsibility within manufacturing and retail and increase consumer awareness. An attorney specializing in product recall liability can advise you if you believe you are the victim of a failure to properly recall a product.
