mandatory recall
Required product retrieval
A mandatory recall is a government-ordered withdrawal of a product from the market, typically because it poses safety risks to consumers.
Unlike voluntary recalls initiated by manufacturers, mandatory recalls carry legal force—companies must comply or face penalties.
The term appears most often with automobiles, food, and consumer products: The agency issued a mandatory recall of the contaminated infant formula.
