Product Safety is a key issue for every manufacturer and retailer, and a great deal can be learnt from other recalls to help improve your own products and reduce the risk of a costly mistake.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) publish product recalls, and their website can be found at:
https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls
The first quarter 2018 has seen 171 published recalls, which is a substantial increase compared to the yearly trend.
The website also allows you to receive email updates on particular categories, and is a very handy resource to subscribe to with keeping up to date with issues affecting your industry.
Product Safety Laws and Mandatory Standards are also readily available and well worth reviewing as a great source of expert knowledge:
