About Products recalls
Consumer product recalls are administered by the CPSC, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC can issue mandatory recalls or work with manufacturers on voluntary recalls when a product poses a substantial risk of injury. Common hazard categories include fire and shock risks in electrical products, choking hazards in children's toys, fall risks in furniture and baby gear, and carbon monoxide risks in heating appliances. If you have registered the product with the manufacturer, you may receive direct notice by mail or email. Check the model number, date code, or serial number on your product against the specific units listed in the official recall notice.
