Bad things can happen to the best of companies…  Even with a company's strong commitment to cGMPs and safe practices, product recalls can and do happen. Manufacturers today face a myriad of factors that can affect product quality and safety, so there are lots of potential places for something to go wrong.  More than 2,500 product recalls occur in the United States each year, according to Dirk Gibson, an associate professor of mass communication at the University of New Mexico who has conducted extensive research on product recall practices. “Recalls are perennial. They are always out there, so it's something we ought to plan for.'

Manufacturers must be prepared with SOPs, recall plans, training and organization to handle a product recall. Private label marketers must prepare for the possibility of needing to recall a product in concert with their contract manufacturer partners. Recalls are never easy or simple and can strain an organization and potentially ruin a good product and a good company.

A full-blown product recall is a complicated and highly regulated process, with the potential for more than just bad press — legal complications also arise when a company realizes one of its products has the potential to cause harm or injury to consumers. To get an unsafe product off the market as quickly as possible and with minimal fallout to your customers and your reputation requires preparation, preparedness and practice.
