How Product Recalls Affect Injury Claims

A product recall doesn’t automatically mean you have a case — but it can help prove your claim. Here’s how recalls work and what they mean for your legal rights.

Types of Recalls

• Voluntary by the manufacturer
• Ordered by the FDA or Consumer Product Safety Commission

Why Recalls Matter

If you were hurt by a recalled drug or product, that recall can serve as evidence of defect. A lawyer can help use it to support your case.
