Product Regulatory and Safety Assessments
We work with manufacturers to conduct product safety assessments to ensure your product is safe and meets all rigorous safety and regulatory standards. Our product regulatory and safety assessments include evaluating:

Product Recalls
When manufacturing, importing, or distributing a product, there can be unforeseen risks and complications resulting in investigations, lawsuits, and product recalls. Recalls typically occur when an unreasonable risk of injury or death is associated with a product. While some recalls are voluntary, some are compulsory and directed by regulatory agencies such as the FDA and CPSC. We work with you to reduce your risk of a product recall through our counseling and regulatory and safety assessment services.
If you find your product is under investigation, has been recalled, is under threat of recall, or you plan to conduct an independent recall, our attorneys represent you from initial recall, through stop sale and isolation of the product, through lawsuits resulting from injuries resulting from product safety issues.
