The number of product recalls has been growing steadily over the past decade, with millions of products recalled each year by manufacturers and suppliers on a voluntary or mandatory basis.
Either big or small, recalls are complex just the same and need to be managed properly. A recall requires a lot of resources and may hit a company’s P&L badly. Whilst some companies may be perfectly equipped to manage a product recall by themselves, many others may not. But in all circumstances, hiring recall experts is highly recommended.
The best thing about a recall is not having one. RecallDesk can help companies avoid a recall. A good starting point is to perform the QuickScan developed by RecallDesk, which already served many companies. Contact us for more information.

The threat of a potential product recall may not be the nicest topic on the agenda of a board meeting. It immediately evokes the image of a room full of worrying faces. And yet, it is crucial to take product safety seriously and take the appropriate corrective measures.
