ARE RECALLS MANDATORY?
CSA International is active in publicizing recalls for potentially unsafe of faulty products, but as a not-for profit, non-government organization, it has no authority to make a recall mandatory. In most cases, CSA International works with the manufacturers to announce a voluntary recall notice and to help remove potentially hazardous products from the market. In rare cases where the manufacturer does not cooperate, and products bear a CSA International certification mark, CSA International will issue an all points bulletin to regulatory authorities and the media to alert the public to potentially hazardous products.
