Legislation places obligations on all those in the supply chain to ensure that only safe products are placed on the market. However, there will be occasions where mistakes occur or there are unforeseen circumstances that place the consumer at risk. Every year a significant number of products are withdrawn from the market , and in cases where the safety risk to the consumer is judged to be high, these result in product recalls. This publication provides practical guidance and advice on the key requirements for the product recall process, particularly to small and medium-sized companies who may lack experience in the handling of product safety issues. It is designed to assist the development of policies and plans that can be linked to detailed operational procedures, with the aim of providing improved consumer protection whilst minimising the commercial impact.
During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, thousands of Americans became infected with HIV through the nation's blood supply. Because little reliable information existed at the time AIDS first began showing up in hemophiliacs and in others who had received transfusions, experts disagreed about whether blood and blood products could transmit the disease. During this period of great uncertainty, decision-making regarding the blood supply became increasingly difficult and fraught with risk. This volume provides a balanced inquiry into the blood safety controversy, which involves private sexual practices, personal tragedy for the victims of HIV/AIDS, and public confidence in America's blood services system. The book focuses on critical decisions as information about the danger to the blood supply emerged. The committee draws conclusions about what was doneâ€"and recommends what should be done to produce better outcomes in the face of future threats to blood safety. The committee frames its analysis around four critical area: Product treatmentâ€"Could effective methods for inactivating HIV in blood have been introduced sooner? Donor screening and referralâ€"including a review of screening to exlude high-risk individuals. Regulations and recall of contaminated bloodâ€"analyzing decisions by federal agencies and the private sector. Risk communicationâ€"examining whether infections could have been averted by better communication of the risks.
