Attorney General Paul Van Dam announced the release of a consumer con-sumer products recall list for April, to assist the public in gaining knowledge about unsafe products. Each year, in order to prevent injury in-jury to consumers, federal agencies recall or issue warnings about hundreds hun-dreds of products. Product hazards may occur because of design flaws, production defects, accidental contamination, tampering, unforeseen misuse of products, or failure to meet safety standards. The consumer's role in these product safety efforts is crucial. Consumers are critically important in two ways. The first is in identifying identify-ing product safety problems. The second is in responding to product safety problems. Product recalls and warnings protect pro-tect consumers only if they react to them. Usually, only two percent to 50 percent of recalled products in the hands of consumers are returned for refund, replacement or remedy.
