As consumers, we expect to be able to purchase products that we can trust. Most products used by Georgians every day are designed safely, constructed correctly, and sufficiently tested so that they pose no significant risk of danger or harm. However, defective products do make it to the marketplace, causing personal injury<\/a> and even wrongful deaths.<\/p>\n

Defective products are dangerous and costly.<\/strong> Injuries as a result of a product mishap can be long-term and devastating, but these injuries from product defects can be prevented if we\u2019re current on the products that are being reviewed for safety. For these reasons, we as consumers should be aware of product recalls. Product recalls<\/a> can include parts of automobiles, airplanes, prescription drugs, medical devices, and industrial equipment.<\/p>\n

Many Product Recalls Have Already Occurred<\/h2>\n

There have been numerous product recalls in 2012 already. Just this month, Johnson & Johnson recalled thousands of tubes of its Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion<\/strong> after a sample contained too much bacteria. At least 2,200 bottles of the lotion from lot number 0161LK have been recalled from shops across many Southern states. According to Johnson and Johnson, this defective product was sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. The company has pulled the contaminated lot from store shelves, but they are not asking consumers that already purchased bottles from that lot to return them. According to a statement released by Johnson & Johnson, they are not recalling the Aveeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion because of a specific injury or event, but out of caution.<\/p>\n

The following is a list of 2012 product recalls, many of which involve safety concerns for children. These types of recalls arise often, and parents should be aware of those that can affect their families.<\/p>\n
