What is a product recall?
A product recall is when a manufacturer or health authority asks consumers to return a product due to safety concerns. In this case, US health officials issued a high-risk warning for eggs contaminated with salmonella. Recalls protect public health by removing potentially dangerous items from sale and ensuring consumers get refunds.
