Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?

Question by Beka E: Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?

With the recent recall of peanut related products, I am left wondering what would happen to a business that continued to sell the contaminated product? Do you think there should be laws with potential fines or jail time for shop owners who continue to sell these products?
In example: there is a small corner store in my town just outside Baltimore City. The shop owner is strange and I doubt he is aware that there are recalls on peanut related products and if he does know about the recall I highly doubt that he would throw away any of his merch. I also don’t think he gets his stuff from a distributor, more like a Costco shopper. I still see peanut butter crackers, sports bars etc… on his shelves. if this makes someone sick they could die. Sol what I want to know is, Is it the consumers responsibility or should the retailer be held responsible for selling recalled product?
