Recalled Products

Automatically identify and remove listings for products subject to government recalls, safety alerts, and mandatory withdrawals from consumer protection agencies.

Overview

SafetyKit's Recalled Products policy automatically identifies and removes listings for products that have been recalled by government agencies or manufacturers. Selling recalled products exposes platforms to significant legal liability and puts consumers at risk.

Platforms can deploy this policy to ensure recalled products are detected and removed promptly, protecting both consumers and the platform from harm.

CPSC (US)
