Conducting a Recall is Only Half the Job.
While product recall events are a fact of life for today’s manufacturers and retailers, there’s no denying that their repercussions can have long-lasting effects on the brand and consumer confidence. Whether it’s tainted produce, a drug that harms instead of heals or a children’s toy that poses a safety hazard, no manufacturer is immune from the potential of a recall incident. Always-on social media, combined with heightened regulatory scrutiny, Congressional oversight and investigative news media make the stakes higher today than ever before.
More than a simple public relations play, recall communications requires a multifaceted strategy that considers the unique needs and concerns of each stakeholder group and devises a flawlessly executed action plan to reach them. Speaking in a single, consistent voice to all audiences is imperative to your ability to successfully navigate a product recall.
200+ recalls under our belts.
Coming out of a product recall with your brand intact means much more than conducting a safe, orderly, precise recall. You must also prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that your top priority is protecting the public. And you’ve got to prove it in The Court of Public Opinion, as well as to regulators, lawmakers and plaintiffs’ attorneys.
