Product recall provision, for example, is very often a policy exclusion,\u201d warns Marnelle Ward, a liabilities specialist at Indwe Risk Services.\u00a0 She continues: \u201cNot being covered for product recall will prove to be very costly and can often mean the end for smaller businesses along a supply chain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Products can be recalled for any one of the three Rs: Replacement, Repair or Refund \u2013 whichever is appropriate, the costs associated with any product recall are considerable:\u00a0 Advertising alerting the public to a recall, tracking down affected products, contacting consumers and compensating them for the cost of the item, funding necessary repairs, or issuing replacements, all need to be taken into account.\u00a0 Transportation costs covering the collection or return of products and, in certain cases, the proper destruction and disposal of them, must also be considered<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>\u201cProduct Recall doesn\u2019t just deal with the return of products and financial compensation to consumers,\u201d notes Ward. \u201cProducts requiring modification also come under the product recall banner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Bumbo, South African manufacturers of a very popular baby seat, are recalling more than 4 million of them following reports of injuries, including skull fractures in the USA and Canada, but not for return &#8211; instead a safety belt attachment is being issued, free of charge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>An adequate Product Liability insurance policy, with provision for product recall, would cover Bumbo\u2019s recall costs, plus any investigation, defence and award costs made, should a claim be brought against them.\u00a0 Anyone else involved in the Bumbo supply chain would need <em>their own<\/em> insurance cover to limit their risk<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When Toyota recalled millions of vehicles with sticky accelerator pedals, they suffered an estimated loss in excess of $2 billion (R17.3 billion).\u00a0 With another 7.4 million vehicles currently being recalled across the UK, USA and China, it\u2019s the biggest single recall across the vehicle industry since 1996. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Remember Nokia and the exploding batteries?\u00a0 Although the public were exposed to them by Nokia, they were manufactured by a company called Matsushita who ended up footing the $172 million (almost R1.5 billon) recall bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Under the new CPA, <em>everyone<\/em> along those supply chains would be liable for any damages caused \u2013 from Nokia and Toyota to the manufacturer, the importer, the distributor <em>and<\/em> the retailer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Guilty until proven innocent of damage caused by your negligence.
