Recall vs. class action settlement — what's the difference?
A recall is a safety action: the company repairs, replaces, or refunds the product (see the steps above) to remove the danger. It's free, and you deal directly with the company or the CPSC — not with us.
A class action settlement is a separate legal process that pays consumers money for harm a product caused. Recalls and product defects sometimes lead to class actions later — but a settlement only exists once a lawsuit is filed and resolved.
Want to know if there's money to claim? Browse our directory of open class action settlements, or use Class Action Buddy free — it tracks new settlements and alerts you the moment one opens for a product you own, then auto-fills the claim form for you to review and submit.
Recall information on this page is sourced from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and is provided for general information. Class Action Buddy is not a law firm and is not affiliated with the CPSC or the recalling company. Always confirm current recall details and remedies on the official CPSC notice linked above.
