Preventing Recalls and Product Liability Lawsuits - Current Trends and Causes

This webinar will highlight the current statistics and trends regarding product recalls, product liability lawsuits, and the causes of these economic disasters for manufacturing corporations. It will also identify all the areas of manufacturing management that are typically not being handled properly and contribute to such failures, from product development thru marketing, product testing, supplier selection and control, document management, contracts and agreements, manufacturing quality, and incident investigation.

Why Should You Attend:

It has become apparent that in today’s marketplace, far too many corporate management teams are focused almost solely on increasing sales - and of course profits - and lastly, if at all, assuring their products are safe and reliable, although they think this is being handled and under control. To further compound the situation, they are also making false assumptions that their employees know what to do with regard to preventing product recalls and product liability lawsuits and are ahead of the curve. This area tends to be misclassified as one of common sense with little-to-no need for training. As a result, we are faced with ever-growing upward trends in product recall statistics, record-breaking product liability lawsuit verdicts, and a spike in bankruptcies.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re a $5 billion manufacturing company or do $50 million in annual sales; whether you manufacture consumer products, automotive, medical, industrial, or commercial products; or whether you have a legal department or don’t have one - corporations are missing the mark across the board.

This webcast will be very enlightening and educational to the members of the management team and will begin the process of pointing manufacturing corporations in the right direction of preventing related problems and becoming more profitable.
