PRODUCT RECALL SOLUTIONS & PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

When a product’s safety comes into question, timing is everything — particularly in the digital age when information and misinformation spread rapidly.

Decisions need to be made quickly, but ill-judged choices can add costs and damage reputations. A strong response capability is vital in fighting the size of a product recall claim. A company that embraces crisis management and makes it part of its DNA is far less likely to suffer a major incident.

Leveraging our experience of managing more than 7,000 global product recall and remediation programs for some of the world’s leading brands, we develop tailored in-market solutions to suit your business goals, specialized product needs, unique regulatory environment, and critical supply chain and customer base objectives.

COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY REPORTING

Detailed and accurate recordkeeping is critical during a product recall.

Not only is it expected by regulators as proof of compliance, but it also protects the company in the event of litigation. Correctly undertaken, recordkeeping and data management help companies make better decisions that ultimately help protect the brand.

Our proprietary product recall data management system enhances visibility, monitoring and tracking during each step of the recall lifecycle — from planning through closeout. By utilizing a central data repository, manufacturers have complete visibility while ensuring timely and accurate compliance reporting to regulatory agencies.

PRODUCT RECALL NOTIFICATIONS

Customers and regulators have high expectations when it comes to product recall communications.

Speed is critical, especially when safety is on the line. When it comes to protecting the brand and retaining customers, that communication must also be clear, concise, accurate and delivered via the preferred or most effective channels.

Our experts create and execute product recall notification programs to ensure regulatory compliance, accurate data management and effective customer and stakeholder engagement. We offer a range of compliance solutions to help in this time-critical stage — from best practice SaaS and portal solutions, to end-to-end managed services that ensure your challenges are remedied quickly and efficiently. These solutions can also be used to expeditiously launch and manage product withdrawals, product safety alerts and other corrective action programs — keeping stakeholders updated through smart reports, insights and analyses.

PRODUCT RETRIEVALS & PROCESSING

Removing affected product from store shelves, the supply chain and directly from consumers’ homes is a complex task.

Protecting brands during this step of the recall process requires detailed recordkeeping, quick execution and assurance that affected products are removed and isolated while nonaffected product remain on shelves.

Sedgwick’s brand protection solutions provide worldwide, end-to-end removal, processing, storage and destruction of impacted product — from a single unit under investigation to a full-scale recall — ensuring compliance and maintaining your daily business operations. This includes logistics and infrastructure support, such as data management, regulatory documentation, state-of-the-art security, complete return integrity and the surge capacity to handle the influx of product until the final event closeout.

REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, REMEDIES & REIMBUSEMENTS

Without careful planning and execution, too many product recall programs not only grow in size and cost but ultimately fail to achieve their primary objectives of protecting your business and customers.

We work with clients to determine the right solution and then implement it – whether issuing reimbursements or coupons, gift cards, fulfilling replacement products, managing repairs, or handling software updates.

We can execute these remediation actions anywhere in the world, no matter the size and scope of the event. Every interaction is designed with the customer in mind, and every action documented to help protect customer retention, brand reputation and bottom-line results.

RECYCLING, REPURPOSING & DISPOSAL

Disposal of recalled product is one of the last steps in the product lifecycle, but when the product is the responsibility of the manufacturer — possibly because of a market withdrawal or recall — this step is no less important than the ones before it. Each industry and product type must follow a unique set of regulations and products that are sold globally face an even more complex regulatory environment. Other factors that need to be taken into consideration include cost, long-term liability, compliance and conservation.

Sedgwick’s brand protection solutions ensure the disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous products in compliance with local and national laws and offers numerous environmentally conscious recycling and repurposing options. Equally important, we help ensure affected products are permanently removed from the supply chain and can provide certified destruction whenever it is required.
