What is a recall in defective products law?
A recall is a corrective action taken in cases where a product is found to be defective. In Georgia, the Department of Law enforces the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, which governs recalls. When a product is found to be defective or dangerous, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer must take appropriate corrective actions, such as repairing, replacing, or refunding any purchased units of the recalled product. A recall may also require the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer to notify the public about the defect. The Department of Law has the authority to require companies to issue recalls for defective products if necessary to protect public health and safety. A recall is a serious measure, and companies are often reluctant to do it. Yet, it is an important way for companies to protect consumers from dangerous or defective products.
