Product Recall: Recent Examples

• In the past few years there has been a noticeable increase in product recalls, and the media’s attention to them, across the globe. Whether it is a manufacturer of finished goods or an importer of consumer, commercial or industrial products, the threat of a recall cannot be ignored. Below are just some examples of recent product recalls.

…

• A snack food manufacturer’s operations include the co-packaging of a name brand cookie. Despite the manufacturer’s superior scores from a well-known third-party auditor, human error led to the mislabeling of a batch of the cookies—the batch was not labeled as containing nuts.  Mislabeling of an allergen runs the risk of imminent bodily injury, so the company recalled the batch. The insurer paid approximately $700,000 including the company’s recall expenses and loss of income.

…

• A manufacturer and marketer of over-the-counter medication recalled over 500,000 tubes of a topical cream because the tubes were not adequately coated by the tube manufacturer. Without adequate coating, the tubes were porous and permitted air to enter causing the topical cream to become extremely potent. Losses paid by the insurer exceeded $350,000.

Contamination…

• A manufacturer and supplier of wet pet foods recalled 60 million cans after it was revealed that the wheat gluten used in production was tainted with melamine, a nitrogen-rich chemical used in the production of plastic.
