A: If you’re asking for general information purposes, it can depend on practical considerations for the product. For instance, with recalls involving seat belts and other auto-related matters, the manufacturer’s notice will typically advise the recipient to bring the car into a dealership. If you’re asking specifically in regard to state statutes upon which you plan to base an action or decision, check with an attorney in your jurisdiction.
