Product recalls are no laughing matter. Undisclosed peanuts in a packaged food item can cause severe allergic reactions in some people, and defective car seats and cribs can put children at risk. If you want to stay up-to-date on the latest product recalls from your favorite retailers, chances are you’ll have to do a bit of legwork to find them. You either must go to the retailer’s website and navigate your way to the product recall section or follow their social media accounts. Alternatively, you can sign up for e-mail alerts from various federal agencies that track product recalls.
But Costco shoppers can rest easier. The warehouse club goes the extra mile and e-mails members directly whenever a product or food item they’ve purchased has been pulled from store shelves due to health or safety concerns. The e-mail will explain in detail why the item is being removed. It will also contain customer support information such as a phone number or e-mail address that you can contact to learn more about how to return the faulty product and how you can get a replacement item. Costco also maintains an online archive of all its food and product recalls.
