The guidelines and requirements set forth the information to be included in a notice required by an order under sections [12](/cfr/16/12.md), [15(c)](/cfr/16/15.md?p=c), or [15(d)](/cfr/16/15.md?p=d) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. [2061](/usc/15/2061.md), [2064(c)](/usc/15/2064.md?p=c), or [2064(d)](/usc/15/2064.md?p=d)). Unless otherwise ordered by the Commission under section [15(c)](/cfr/16/15.md?p=c) or [(d)](/cfr/16/15.md?p=d) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. [2064(c)](/usc/15/2064.md?p=c) or [(d)](/usc/15/2064.md?p=d)), or by a United States district court under [section 12](/cfr/16/12.md) of the CPSA ([15 U.S.C. 2061](/usc/15/2061.md)), the content information required in this subpart must be included in every such notice.
- (b) The Commission establishes these guidelines and requirements to ensure that every recall notice effectively helps consumers and other persons to:
  - (1) Identify the specific product to which the recall notice pertains;
  - (2) Understand the product's actual or potential hazards to which the recall notice pertains, and information relating to such hazards; and
  - (3) Understand all remedies available to consumers concerning the product to which the recall notice pertains.
