Arent Fox assists clients in all aspects of product recalls, including the scope of products to be recalled, the potential remedies offered to consumers, determining the need to file reports with the CPSC or other government agencies and the procedures for implementing and tracking a recall and the media impact of a product recall. We also counsel management on the strategic options for their brands when a potential recall arises.
Examples include:
Negotiating with the CPSC and developing a recall program for a programmable massager
Counseling on a recall of lead jewelry products popular among young consumers.
