Q: If a recall is planned to be issued, is it the manufacturer's responsibility to let owners of the product know,
or the business' where they bought it?
A: The product manufacturer who has published the recall should notify owners of the product with such notice. If the product is a car for example, that notice may be an actual mailed notice of the recall. If the recall is any variety of products out in circulation, it depends. For example, a home kidney dialysis machine was recalled and end users were notified by mail that the product would be replaced. So it depends on the product on how notice may reasonably delivered to end users.
