Recalls can be the result of manufacturing defects, design issues, or unexpected and unintended user behaviors – for many manufacturers, issues due to user behavior can be particularly challenging. Click the button below to view recent product recalls in the United States.

Kuba J. Glazek, Ph.D. Senior Consultant View Expert Profile “Human Factors experts help clients understand how users, products, and the interactions between them contribute to accidents. We can analyze and evaluate user capabilities, limitations, motivations, and behaviors, as well as product designs, instructions, warnings, relevant standards, and foreseeable uses, which all contribute to a thorough understanding of contributory causes to accidents.”
