A 'lemon' refers to a product or investment that performs poorly and fails to meet expectations. This term is commonly used to describe defective cars and underperforming stocks. Lemon laws in several states provide consumers with legal recourse for their underwhelming purchases.
A recall is an action taken by a manufacturer to remove a defective product from the market that could potentially cause harm or does not meet regulatory standards. The recall process involves notifying customers and arranging for the return, repair, or replacement of the product. This corrective action can be initiated voluntarily by the manufacturer or mandated by government authorities, particularly when safety concerns are involved.
