Products recalled in March

Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers to important consumer protection concerns for products recalled in March. The office is encouraging consumers to take advantage of opportunities available to them to return, fix, dispose, or replace a purchased recalled item that could be harmful to their families. “The biggest concern of any parent is the safety and wellbeing of their children,” Attorney General Rokita said. “You might think you’re getting a good deal, but if you invest in a flawed product, it could lead to a devastating disaster. If you have purchased one of these recalled products, stop using it immediately and pursue resolution from the manufacturer.”
