Comments on: Product Recalls – Why not use what’s already in place? http://marc-bourassa.com/2007/10/09/product-recalls-why-not-use-whats-already-in-place Reality from Marc's point of view!

In reality I'm dubious that there are all that many incidents that occur with unreturned, recalled products (relative to the number that are sold), but the fact that there is a known issue and the company did nothing would certainly stand against them in a court of law. I think it shows great consumer awareness for a company to step up to the plate and issue a recall where health and safety are concerned.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4106','Marc'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4106','Marc','I do believe that recalls are largely performed in fear of blood-sucking class-action legal action. \r\n\r\nIn reality I\'m dubious that there are all that many incidents that occur with unreturned, recalled products (relative to the number that are sold), but the fact that there is a known issue and the company did nothing would certainly stand against them in a court of law.\r\n\r\nI think it shows great consumer awareness for a company to step up to the plate and issue a recall where health and safety are concerned.'); return false;">Quote</a></div> I do believe that recalls are largely performed in fear of blood-sucking class-action legal action.
