Even when manufacturers know of safety issues with products, recalls often aren't issued until months or even years later, putting Americans at risk for injury or even death because of the delays.
Americans may be at risk for injury or even death because of delays in product recalls being issued, according to a new report from a consumer-watchdog group.
There were 43 other complaints filed with the company concerning the ZLINE gas ranges, with three of them resulting in people seeking medical attention, according to the PIRG report. But it wasn’t until December that a recall of 28,000 ranges was issued. The PIRG report said that it was fortunate no one died in that interim period.
Technically, a company can issue a recall on its own. But recalls are commonly done in conjunction with the CPSC after the agency is notified by the company, consumers or medical and government officials of a potentially hazardous situation with a product. And those categories encompass pretty much everything you use in your everyday lives — Murray said it goes from A, as in appliances, to Z, as in zippers. One big exception is autos — that’s the responsibility of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
