Top Product Recalls

Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of all the food and product recalls when it seems like every day there is a new danger.  Sites like FDA.gov , USDA.gov and recalls.gov will keep you updated on recent recalls, but have there been any you missed?

As a North Charleston personal injury lawyer , I know it can be hard to keep track of all the recalls, so I’ve prepared a list of the top 10 product recalls in recent years.

1.       Infantino Baby Slings- March 2010, suffocation risk

2.       Toyota – January 2010, defective gas pedals

3.       Simplicity drop-side cribs – July 2009, suffocation risk

4.       Chinese baby formula – 2008, melamine poisoning

5.       Bridgestone/Firestone tires – 2000, faulty tires

6.       Beef – February 2008, E. coli contamination

7.       Peanut Butter – 2008, Salmonella poisoning

8.       Vioxx arthritis drug – September 2004, side-effect risks

9.       Tylenol – 1982, poisoning from tampering

10.   Ford Pinto – 1981, explosion risk
