Details

The world is imperfect, including during the manufacture of therapeutic goods. Things do go wrong from time-to-time and when this happens, products may have to be recalled from the Australian market or other actions need to be taken to ensure consumer safety. Would you know what to do if you needed to recall your product? Or have you done recalls in the past and would like a refresher on the processes? In this session, we will provide an overview of Australia’s recall processes. We will also focus on sponsors’ roles and responsibilities which aim to ensure their recall actions are conducted effectively.
