Product Recall Legal Index
A recall is an admission.
It’s not a settlement.
This is Shook & Stone’s running list of active recalls we’re monitoring for litigation potential.
A recall tells you a product was dangerous — it doesn’t take away your right to sue.
We add legal context CPSC doesn’t give you.
No fee unless we win. Open 24/7.

A recall remedy — repair, replacement, or refund — is what the manufacturer owes the government and future buyers. It is separate from what they owe you for injuries you have already suffered. You can accept the recall remedy and still pursue a personal injury claim. These are two different legal tracks.
Yes, and in many ways that is the strongest position. A manufacturer’s obligation is to put a safe product on the market from day one. The fact that they later issued a recall is evidence that the defect existed when you bought the vehicle or product — not that they deserve credit for eventually catching it.
You likely still have a claim. A recall is only as effective as its reach. If you never received the notice, if the dealer’s inspection missed the issue, or if the remedy was unavailable in your area, the manufacturer’s responsibility for your injury does not disappear.
Nevada generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, including product liability claims arising from recalled products. Some discovery rules can extend that window, but you should not rely on them. The sooner you contact us, the more options we have to preserve evidence and build your case.
No. We monitor CPSC and NHTSA notices daily and add recalls that have clear litigation potential for Nevada residents — typically those with confirmed injury reports, significant unit counts, or product categories that overlap with our practice areas. Each entry includes our attorneys’ assessment of legal significance, which you will not find on the CPSC website.

Legal Context
A recall is a warning.
Not a waiver of your rights.
The recall doesn't compensate you
A recall offers a repair, replacement, or refund. It doesn't pay medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering. That's what a lawsuit does.
You can still sue after a recall
Accepting a recall remedy doesn't bar a personal injury claim for injuries you've already suffered. The statute of limitations — Nevada's deadline to file — is separate.
The recall is evidence — use it
A CPSC or NHTSA recall is an official finding that the product was defective. In court, that matters. It supports your claim that the manufacturer knew or should have known.
