Can a consignment shop sell you a product that had a recall issue?
Question by greekbrit: Can a consignment shop sell you a product that had a recall issue?
I bought a toddler bed back in June of last year. I was getting it ready to sell and decided to google it to find a better photo. Discovered that it had a recall issue back in 05.Contacted the consignment shop that I bought it from and she said that I should have checked on it when I bought it.It being a toddler bed, I would have never thought of anything being wrong. She then told me that she is not held liable and that it was my responsibility. I have ordered the right part, but I still feel that she should have not sold it to me in the first place. What do you think?
Also, if this is not the case. . .then how come a consignment shop can get in-trouble for selling a recall crib, toys, and car seats?

It is just like buying from a garage sale. Buyer beware.

Chrysler recall postcard in the mail- just a ploy to get people into the shop?
Question by Crystal Sunshine: Chrysler recall postcard in the mail- just a ploy to get people into the shop?
I received in the mail a postcard about my car having a product recall and the name of a local Chrysler shop to get the item replaced free of charge. Is this some ploy to get people into the garage so they can find other “problems” with the car or is this legit?
Hmm, true but the last thing people want to hear is a bunch of other problems with the car and it seems every time there’s a list of issues.

And how would that ploy work?
They can’t force you to do anything with your car.
So it’s not like they’re getting money out of you.
And if they find things, and you decide to ignore it, and it causes problems later….then they can just say “told you so…”
Edit: That’s funny, because when I take my cars in for repairs, I don’t get a list of issues. Because I take care of my car, and make sure there’s nothing that it could need.
What you can always do is take the car to a second mechanic, and if they give you the same list of things…..they’re not trying to get money out of you, they’re trying to get you to maintain your vehicle better.
