• assess and advise manufacturers regarding product safety crises, product safety reporting issues, government investigations, corrective action plans, and voluntary and involuntary recalls, including the CPSC’s Fast Track Product Recall Program;
•  assess and advise manufacturers and retailers on their internal compliance systems, developing integrated internal compliance programs, and data management to avoid civil penalties for failure to timely report to the CPSC;
• counsel clients on the CPSC’s regulatory process;
• provide comprehensive training, including prevention programs, and investigations addressing product failures or complaints, and developing methods of avoiding or minimizing potential claims; and
