Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is alerting Hoosiers of important consumer protection concerns for products recalled in August. The office encourages consumers to take advantage of opportunities available for those who purchase recalled items that could be harmful to their families.

“Even though fall is around the corner, house projects are a year round task,” AG Rokita said. “That means making sure household products are working correctly. Hoosiers shouldn’t have to deal with faulty items. If you have one of the recalled products, stop using it immediately and pursue resolution from the manufacturer.”
