Optimize return-to-work
Every year, millions of dollars worth in property damage, serious injuries and business disruptions are caused by products that are defective, unstable, faulty or misused due to incorrect labels and instructions. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has an updated and comprehensive list of injuries and deaths due to anything from televisions, furniture, appliances, children’s toys, pools and even fireworks. For any type of injury or fatality, the manufacturer, wholesaler, designer and even retailer can be held liable for all damages.
For extreme cases of product liability claims, a company could face losses from product recalls and lawsuits as well as bad publicity and loss of trust from the general public and stakeholders. So regardless of your business or industry, product liability is a very serious problem. This is why hiring a risk management analyst is important from the beginning.
