Expert CPSIA Compliance for Retailers
With Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) regulations in effect, manufacturers are not the only businesses held liable for ineffective recalls. The new regulations require the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to investigate the effectiveness of a product recall and give the CPSC and state attorneys general new power to hold both manufacturers and retailers responsible for compliance.
Manufacturers and retailers are responsible for ensuring that recalled products are removed from store shelves in a timely manner. Retailers that fail to understand the new rules and follow them could experience lost revenues, damaged reputations, possible litigation and fines up to $15 million.
As a retailer, you are responsible for every product you sell. The CPSIA expressly prohibits the sale of a product that has been recalled. If a manufacturer fails to effectively inform you of a recall and the product is not removed from your store shelves, you will face a penalty.
From satisfying stringent CPSC regulatory compliance guidelines to retrieving affected products off the shelves as quickly and safely as possible, the Stericycle’s ExpertRECALL™ team has seen it and solved it. Instead of relying on manufacturers to conduct effectiveness checks on your shelves, Stericycle ExpertRECALL team can help you take the matter into your own hands, mitigating legal and economic risk, and protecting consumers.
