consumer alerts

Public safety notices

Consumer alerts are official warnings issued by government agencies, consumer protection organizations, or companies to inform the public about potential hazards, scams, or defective products.

They typically announce recalls, fraudulent schemes, or safety risks: The FTC issued a consumer alert about phishing emails targeting seniors.

Consumer alerts aim to protect people from harm or financial loss before damage occurs.
