It doesn't happen a lot, but every so often a consumer
product can be revealed to be unsafe. When that happens, it can
bring up questions about a company's obligations with regard to
one of its products when it becomes aware of such a situation. Host
Len Gordon talks to Venable partners Erin Maus and Melissa Steinman about how U.S. law requires
manufacturers, retailers, and marketers to report unsafe products
to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Compliance
involves monitoring complaints, reviews, and databases. Failing to
report promptly incurs penalties, while voluntary recalls might
prompt false advertising lawsuits.
