Stop Using the Product if Safety Is Involved

If the recall mentions fire, electric shock, contamination, or injury risk, stop using the product right away and follow disposal or return instructions from the source agency.

Document Everything

Take photos of labels, batch numbers, and serial identifiers. Save all support emails and claim forms. This helps if follow-up is required.
