CPSC

 

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent agency of the United States government. To provide better service in alerting the American people to unsafe, hazardous or defective products, a “one stop shop” for U.S. Government recalls, http://www.recalls.gov, has been created. Members of the public may report unsafe products to CPSC by using the platform.

 

The recall list is divided into seven categories: Consumer Products, Motor Vehicles, Boats, Food, Medicine, Cosmetics and Environmental Products. Generally, the recall is conducted voluntarily by the company under CPSC’s Fast Track Recall programme. Fast Track recalls are initiated by firms who are committed to working with CPSC to quickly announce the recall and remedy to protect consumers.

 

Australian Product Safety System

 

The Australian product safety system is set up to maximise the safety of goods through the cooperation of consumers, businesses and agencies. This policy sets out the principles adopted by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for prioritising and addressing product safety risks.

 

Under the Australian Consumer Law, a responsible Minister can order a compulsory recall when there are hazards on the products. A voluntary recall could be conducted to remove the product from the marketplace when the suppliers become aware of unsafe or defective products.

 

The ACCC administers a national recall system for recalls of specific and general consumer products, and publishes all product recalls on https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls.
