Question by VANESSA: need tips on how to get company to start a RECALL on product?
magnovax 37 inch LCD tv mines started to not turn on after just 13 months and I did some google searchs and found thousands of other people who have same problem and magnavox does nothing about it I have done everything I can going about getting repairment free of charge. They said they are aware of problem but since no recall has been posted then all of us who paid over a 00 are out of luck even the corporate office told me they know of issue but that is why they offer the extendend warrenty for more hundreds of dollars so my question is how would I go about getting this matter to the higher big dogs to get this product recalled. I also wanted to add I was part of the xbox 360 problems with we aware but no recall but a least they fixed the game free of charge without warrenty

Heavy fines and Huge Civil Lawsuits will generally put the company out of business. There may also be criminal charges brought against individuals within the company that ignored the order.

What is the trigger that requires a company to issue a product recall?
Question by Neptune221: What is the trigger that requires a company to issue a product recall?
I have a Maytag MIF2568AES Model Stainless Steel Refrigerator, whose ice-water control panel is suddenly decided to start blinking uncontrollably with the ice-flap opening and closing every few seconds. This malfunction prevents cooling in the fridge and freezer. Annoying problem, and as it turns out from a quick Internet search, not remotely an isolated problem. The HV Board is defective and needs to be replaced. Sounds like on most EVERY fridge, but I do not know the percentages–but it sounds like the refrigerator is designed to survive the warranty period–then puff.
My question is–what exactly triggers a product recall? I am baffled one has not already been issued for this (problem seems to have been in widespread existence for at least 6 months). Related to that, since I will have to have it repaired, are companies that issue recalls typically required to reimburse people who have already repaired, at least for parts? Especially when there own repair people were used?

Companies usually issue a recall in one of two event. (1) When there is a serious safety issue. (2) When they preceive they will receive substantial negative publicity from a defect.
