Product Safety, Investigations, and Recalls

Safety issues pose unique and time-sensitive challenges to the brand equity of companies that manufacture, distribute, sell, or fulfill purchases of products sold to consumers. Our multi-disciplinary global team represents and counsels global companies facing product safety hazard reports and recalls, safety-related internal and governmental investigations and litigation, and federal and state enforcement actions. We have achieved successful results for our clients before federal and state agencies that enforce product safety laws, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Justice, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and equivalent international regulators around the world. We combine our deep regulatory expertise to advise clients on pre-market product safety compliance with our extensive litigation and investigations experience to vigorously defend companies in post-market safety-related agency enforcement actions and disputes. We also advise clients on global safety compliance programs, safety standards development, and legislative policy reform.
