Often recalling a product is the easy bit, disposal of the product post recall can cause some real headaches. Category 4 Fireworks, face moisturisers laced with mercury ☢, nicotine patches, horse burgers I’ve dealt with the lot..
On this occasion we were talking electrical goods…
Another recent (ish) now ex-client conversation:
Rick (with a silent P), “Great news, the recall has been a real success, thanks for all your help so far…”
Me, “Glad to hear it, so let’s talk disposal…
Rick, “We’ve decided to export them out of the EU with a view to selling them in a developing country….🌍
Me, “Urmm, okay, but they’ll still be inherently dangerous wherever they are used…⛔
Rick, ignoring my previous reservations, “We were wondering if you could research where these products could be sold legally, and we’ll act on your recommendations”.…
Me “Sorry Rick, that doesn’t sit well with me, so I’ll pass.. Best of luck with that one”…..
I’ll always strive to give you both a legal, sustainable and ethical solution so reach out we can chat, if you got the same moral compass as Rick I’ll pass….
