It does seem that way. I think that a lot of parents leave their children unattended while using items that should be used only while adults are supervising and then a child gets hurt and the product gets re-called. I think a lot of it is companies trying to “stupid people proof” items. Rarely are there like wiring problems or the like.

Is it safe to use a humidifier brand that has been recalled before?
Question by needhelp: Is it safe to use a humidifier brand that has been recalled before?
I’m interested to buy a humidifier called: Hunter Care-free warm mist humidifier. This specific product has been recalled due to potential fire hazard. There are 4 reports from consumers of minor property damage from water leaking to the electrical components causing fire. Accordingto the website below, the recall is for products sold at stores nationwide from September 2005 through February 2006.
http://www.lawcash.com/recalls/family-dollar-pay-civil-penalty-failure-report-hazardous-electric-blankets-recall/alert/6281.asp
it’s 2007 now and I still see the product being sold at target.com, iallergy.com and several others. Does it mean that they have corrected the problem and is it safe to buy those products now? Or are these retailers trying to sell leftover products that still have the problem?
any input will be appreciated
*** correction: I mean the product not the brand. I’d like to buy this specific product that has been recalled before. So Is it safe to buy this product knowing that this product has been recalled before ? ***

Q&A: Car Seat Recalled and I Never Knew?
Question by Busy Mommy of 3: Car Seat Recalled and I Never Knew?
We purchased a Mia Moda Viva Supreme infant car seat for our son in April 2009. He was born in July 2009. The seat was recalled in October 2009 due to a metal harness splitter plate on the back of the car seat that has sharp edges that can cut the harness and the stay-in-car base can crack during a crash. I filled out the product registration card when we purchased it and mailed it back to them, I think I may have even registered it online. I did not receive any notification about this recall at all. I went on the website today to look for a new stroller and found the recall information! I was so mad that my son has been riding in this seat for the last 8 months and I never knew that it was unsafe!
Have you ever had a car seat recalled? Did you get a notification from the manufacturer? Isn’t that what the product registration cards are for, to inform the consumer about recalls and product updates? If not, what are they for? Why do I waste my time filling them out if they are not going to notify me of something like this?
The reason we purchased this seat over others was due to it’s high safety ratings! How ironic!
On their website you have to input your seat’s serial numbers and manufacture date and then they determine if your seat is eligible for reimbursement. If it is then they send out a “return kit” in which you must cut out the seat belt and send it to them and they will send reimbursement when they receive it back.

I had two car seats that were recalled. (Same seat) I received a repair kit and fixed the seats myself…..very simple. Call the company and request a repair kit. Next time you get a new product you can call and register your purchase. This way you KNOW they have your info in case of a recall or something.

Question about recalled products and the companies responsibility to replace the product?
Question by addisonsmom17: Question about recalled products and the companies responsibility to replace the product?
if a company recalls a product…do they need to replace or fix it if thats what the customer wants?
Best answer:
Answer by Cory Z
If a product is recalled then the company is required to fix the issue. It doesn’t matter if the customer wants it or not. If the product is defective and something happens then the company is not responsible due to the customers negligence of the recall.

I need to explain the level of a consumer’s expectation of a recalled product,suchas a DvD player.?
Question by sherry a: I need to explain the level of a consumer’s expectation of a recalled product,suchas a DvD player.?
Best answer:
Answer by Aaron
You don’t give much on details. But personally, if I owned a DVD that was recalled, my expectations would be that they provide shipping to and from my home, and a very quick replacement at no additional cost. Also a quick, “sorry to inconveniece” you letter signed by the president of the company.
my 2 cents… hopefully this is the type of response you were looking for.
