Who pays for recalls?

Typically, the producer or manufacturer of the product bears the financial cost of a recall, including refunds, logistics, and potential legal fees. In this instance, the Texas-based egg producer would likely be responsible for the costs associated with recalling nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs and refunding customers.
