OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
This week we will discuss product recalls and your health. According to WEBMD: A product safety recall happens when a consumer watch group or a manufacturer finds problems with a product.
Lots of items can be recalled.
Some products that are commonly recalled include:
-
Food products, like meat or vegetables
-
Medication and medical devices
-
Children's products, like safety seats
-
Car parts
If an item is recalled, you may have to throw it away, return it, or exchange it for a similar or newer product.
