(OPEN):
FOOD-RECALLS IN THE U-S INCREASED DURING THE SECOND-QUARTER OF
2011--WHILE CONSUMER-PRODUCT RECALLS WERE DOWN. THAT'S ACCORDING
TO THE LATEST "EXPERT-RECALL INDEX". THE JUST-RELEASED
REPORT ALSO FOUND THAT UNDECLARED ALLERGENS ACCOUNTED FOR MORE THAN
45-PERCENT OF ALL FOOD-RECALLS DURING THE QUARTER--AND THAT
LACERATION-RISKS WERE THE LEADING CAUSE OF PRODUCT-RECALLS THAT ARE
REGULATED BY THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION.
MIKE ROZEMBAJGIER IS THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF RECALLS FOR
STERICYCLE EXPERT-RECALL...
(ROZEMBAJGIER):
"WHILE WE
DON'T SEE INCREASED RECALL-ACTIVITY IN EVERY CATEGORY, WE CAN EXPECT
REGULATORY-AGENCIES TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE THEIR OVERSIGHT OF BOTH
MANUFACTURERS AND RETAILERS--RESULTING IN MORE RECALLS FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE YEAR. MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE
EYE ON THEIR REGULATORY-AGENCIES--AS WELL AS INDUSTRY-CRITICS AND
CONSUMER-SAFETY ADVOCATES--BECAUSE THEIR PERSISTENCE HAS OFTEN
INFLUENCED GOVERNMENT-OVERSIGHT--LEADING TO MORE RECALLS."
(CLOSE):
THE "EXPERT-RECALL INDEX" IS COMPILED QUARTERLY FROM DATA ISSUED BY BOTH
THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND THE CONSUMER PRODUCT
SAFETY COMMISSION. THE COMPLETE REPORT FOR THE SECOND-QUARTER IS
AVAILABLE AT
"EXPERT-RECALL"-DOT-COM-SLASH-"RECALL-INDEX".
