Products sold in the United States must meet a specific set of standards regarding safety in order for them to remain on store shelves. If a product is determined to be dangerous or unsafe, it can trigger a national product recall. A product recall is the process by which dangerous products are removed from the marketplace. Persons who experience an injury from the use of a defective product are eligible to file a claim for their damages, regardless of whether their injuries occurred before or after a product had been recalled.
