CFA Signs Group Letter to CPSC on Voluntary Recall Notices

CFA TC

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) has proposed an interpretive rule to set forth principles and guidelines for the content and form of voluntary recall notices that firms provide as part of corrective action plans under Section 15 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). The existing regulations provide for notice to the public of the corrective action that a firm agrees to undertake, but do not provide any guidance regarding the information that should be included in a recall notice issued as part of a corrective action plan agreement. The proposed rule would set forth the Commission's expectations for voluntary remedial actions and recall notices, bearing in mind that certain elements of product recalls vary and that each notice should be tailored appropriately. The proposed rule also provides that corrective action plans may include compliance program-related requirements when appropriate. In addition, the proposed rule would make the corrective action plan agreed to by CPSC and the recalling party legally binding.
