Product Recall Destruction

Product Recall Destruction is a request from a manufacturer to return a product that is potentially harmful to the consumer. Some recalls may be ordered by the FDA or be voluntarily ordered by the manufacturer.

Reasons for recalls:

• Food may be contaminated with glass, metal, or bacteria.
• Medical devices may be faulty, mismarked, and in some cases expired or obsolete.
• Counterfeit items may need to be destroyed to protect consumers from purchasing what they thought was a genuine brand.
• Some products are recalled limiting corporate image ruin and reduce liability for corporate negligence.
