(OPEN):
FOOD-RECALLS IN THE THIRD-QUARTER AFFECTED NEARLY SIX TIMES AS MANY
UNITS AS THE PREVIOUS THREE-MONTH PERIOD. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE
LATEST "EXPERT-RECALL INDEX". THE JUST-RELEASED REPORT ALSO
FOUND THAT PHARMACEUTICAL- AND MEDICAL-DEVICE-RECALLS INCREASED--WHILE
RECALLS FOR CHILDREN'S AND INFANTS' PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS FOR
CONSUMER-GOODS, HIT SURPRISING FIVE-QUARTER LOWS. MIKE
ROZEMBAJGIER IS THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF RECALLS FOR
STERICYCLE EXPERT-RECALL...
(ROZEMBAJGIER):
"BASED ON THIRD-QUARTER RECALL-ACTIVITY, PRODUCT-SAFETY REMAINS A
HOT TOPIC AMONG ALL [OF THE] PLAYERS IN THE RECALL
SUPPLY-CHAIN--CONSUMERS, MANUFACTURERS, RETAILERS, AND REGULATORS.
NOW, AS WE ENTER THE HOLIDAY-SEASON, EVERYONE SHOULD BE REMINDED OF
THEIR ROLE IN SUPPORTING CONSUMER-SAFETY--TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY THE
PRODUCTS [THAT] WE USE, BUT ALSO THE GIFTS [THAT] WE GIVE, ARE SAFE FOR
EVERYONE. MANUFACTURERS AND RETAILERS MUST PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
CONSUMER-SAFETY--AND BE MORE DILIGENT WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH
CONSUMERS--PARTICULARLY AS SHOPPERS INCREASE THEIR PURCHASES DURING THE
HOLIDAY-SEASON. AND, WHILE REGULATORS WILL NEED TO PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION TO PRODUCT-SAFETY COMPLAINTS--PARTICULARLY ABOUT THE HOTTEST
GIFTS OF THE SEASON--CONSUMERS WILL NEED TO KEEP THEIR EYES AND EARS
OPEN FOR ALL RECALL-ANNOUNCEMENTS--NOT ONLY FOR THE PRODUCTS [THAT] THEY
BUY FOR THEMSELVES, BUT ALSO FOR THE GIFTS [THAT] THEY ARE GIVING."
(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
THIRD-QUARTER IS AVAILABLE AT
"EXPERT-RECALL"-DOT-COM-SLASH-"RECALL-INDEX".
