Chances are, you or your family have received a product recall notice in the mail. In fact, over 50% of individuals in the United States own an item that has been recalled. While many of these product recalls go unheeded the families that own them, they are a serious matter that should never go ignored.
In the past five years, the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) has recalled more than 110 million household goods. From choking hazards to furniture which has the potential to cause fatal injury from falling, product recalls affect everyone.
Partselect has created an infographic entitled “Why You Should Never Ignore Product Recalls”, detailing the startling facts behind product recalls.
The leading injury-causing appliances in the home are a stove or range, dryer, air conditioner, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and washing machine/dryer combos. These appliances, found in every home, cause over $700 billion in deaths and property damage annually.
