<br/><br/> "In recent years, the number of recalls has risen substantially. Annual auto recalls have more than doubled since the early 1990s. Nearly 19 million vehicles were recalled in 2002--about 1 of 11 on the road. Last year [2003], recalls of products such as packaged food, drugs, and medical devices were up nearly 24 percent over 1999. And 2004 is on a record pace for household-product recalls. In all, more than 5,000 recalls were initiated last year, covering more than 60 million products." (CONSUMER REPORTS) This article examines product recalls and discusses ways to improve the current system in order to inform consumers of potentially dangerous products in a more timely manner.
