Recalls in nanotechnology can occur for several reasons:
Safety Concerns: Nanoparticles can have unique properties that might pose health risks to humans and animals if not adequately tested. Quality Control: Manufacturing defects or inconsistencies can lead to performance issues. Regulatory Compliance: Products may fail to meet the standards set by regulatory bodies like the FDA or EPA. Environmental Impact: Nanomaterials can have unintended consequences on the environment, necessitating a recall.
