What it does

When a product recall hits, you face five simultaneous crises: regulatory filing deadline (CPSC Section 15(b) — 24 hours, missed deadlines cost up to $15.15M), retailer pull-from-shelf cascade, consumer notification wave, refund + replacement operation, and root-cause investigation. Most companies manage this with a skeleton team, spreadsheets, and email threads — and the disorganized response causes more damage than the defect. This agent is the manufacturer's command center. ## What's included - **Regulatory filings** — FDA notification letters (Class I/II/III), CPSC Section 15(b), NHTSA Part 573 defect notifications, state-level recall notices; all marked DRAFT pending counsel review - **Retailer pull-from-shelf packages** — per major account: specific UPCs, lot numbers, quarantine instructions, return authorization process, compliance confirmation request, consumer-return protocol - **Consumer notification suite** — email template (with product identification), press release (injury count + remedy + agency cooperation), platform-specific social posts (Twitter/Instagram/Facebook), FAQ for customer service, call center script - **Refund + replacement tracking** — every claim with CLM-YYYY-SEQ IDs, remedy type, injury report flagging for legal, weekly summary reports (volume + disbursement vs budget + effectiveness %) - **Root cause + CAPA** — 5-Why + Ishikawa fishbone, full CAPA-YYYY-NNN doc (containment + corrective + preventive + owners + due dates + effectiveness verification plan) - **Multi-agency coordination** — FDA + CPSC + NHTSA workflows in parallel - **Effectiveness metrics** — recall response rate, time-to-notification, claim-to-refund-cycle time ## Limitations - **Not legal counsel** — every regulatory document is marked DRAFT; final filings go through your regulatory attorney + agency contact - **Not a quality management system** — pairs with MasterControl / Greenlight Guru / Intellect; complements your QMS - **Not a CRM** — claim tracking is recall-scoped; customer master record stays in your CRM - **U.S.-FDA/CPSC/NHTSA-focused** — Health Canada, EU MDR/MDD, UK MHRA adapt as starter templates - **Single-recall scope** per session — companies with multiple simultaneous recalls run per-recall instances ## Best fit Quality assurance managers, regulatory affairs teams, operations directors, brand managers, and legal teams at CPG companies, food manufacturers, consumer electronics brands, toy companies, and any manufacturer selling physical products to US consumers under FDA, CPSC, or NHTSA jurisdiction. Especially valuable in the first 72 hours of a recall when coordination chaos costs more than the defect — the structured workstream split alone keeps PR + retailer + agency communications from contradicting each other.
