They both mean at risk but "jeopardize" is more serious than "endanger".
I think I would use jeopardy if something I was doing was putting me in danger and I think of being endangered as being something that is put in danger though things beyond its control.
Such products may seriously endanger people’s health and safety.
Such products have already seriously jeopardized people's health and safety.

In usage, there is a difference in application, and sometimes scope.
He put his money in jeopardy.
His financial well being is endangered. // this is weak usage
The rare animal is endangered. // this is the only correct word choice in this usage
The international order is jeopardized by militarism. // passive voice
Militarism endangers the international order. // note active voice
Endanger fits the active voice better, in the examples that come to mind. Although:
Don't jeopardize your future!
Is valid.
