If you have food that gets recalled do they give you your money back?
I remember I had some of the peanut butter, I just went on and ate it, but do they just tell you to throw it away or can you return unopened ones for your money back? I'm sure there are situations where people could have a significant amount of recalled food making it worth getting the money back for it.

1. Any reputable retailer would refund your money.

2. The manufactturer/distributor will refund the money
If the store owner is a good one, they will give you a refund. If it is a store which is not very helpful, the store will give you a form to send to the manufacturer/distributor.

5. Corporate twit media.....uh, sorry, MSM is saying
to just throw out the recalled food; this was in the case of the chilli. Heard that this morning on CN8, I believe. Of course, the sheeple will throw out the cans of chilli, not question why they should not get their money back, but will question themselves as to why they bought the chilli in the first place.

6. yes, easily, i've done it, even if you no longer have the receipt
the grocery stores, drug stores, etc. where the items are sold have a list of the recalled items and they will give the $$ back

any problems w. a clerk not knowing how to do this, ask for a supervisor, she'll be able to handle it

done it many times over the years
