Does This Scare You?

The aftermath of an industry product recall affects all of us. Another highly publicized recall has happened, which brings up the question of why that matters to you?
What impact does each recall have on your business?
California Innovations, a Toronto-based manufacturer of coolers, tote bags and drinkware, in conjunction with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), recently issued a voluntary recall of two of its insulated food bags. According to the CPSC, the "Cryofreeze" freezer gel packs included in the bags can leak chemicals when damaged that are potentially poisonous when ingested.

Think it Can't Happen to You...
Think Again!
| 
Just for a moment try to imagine that a promotional product you sold to your largest customer has suddenly become the subject of a government recall. Hundreds or even thousands of consumers have to be notified immediately that it may be dangerous to use the item that was given to them as a gift.
And to be sure there's no confusion, pictures have to be posted in multiple locations and on the Internet showing the ill-fated product with your customers logo displayed next to the danger warnings. The product you chose is now a public albatross for everyone involved. The recall and legal costs are almost certainly going to be enormous, as is the liability exposure. And to top it off, the incident is a colossal embarrassment for you and for your client.
Try to imagine the pain of what that would feel like, especially if you could have avoided it all - including the potential loss of a prized customer - with just an ounce of prevention.
