Amazon Adds New ‘Recalls And Safety Alerts’ Notice Page

Amazon shared it monitors public recall alert websites and receives recall information from manufacturers and sellers to keep their users up to date in regards to things they have purchased. 

Amazon has added a new system that aims to keep consumers aware of recalls and safety alerts.

There is now a dedicated page in your Amazon account to view items that you’ve purchased that have been recalled. The new system is part of ongoing efforts to assist people in shopping more confidently through their online platform.

For years, Amazon has been criticized for being to slow to remove recalled products and the CPSC has accused the retailer of failing to remove hazardous and defective items from its listings. Now, Amazon shared it monitors public recall alert websites and receives recall information from manufacturers and sellers to keep their users up to date in regards to things they have purchased.

A banner alert will now appear at the top of the ‘Your Orders’ page if a product you ordered is the subject of a recall.
