The Product Safety Recalls Australia website has been redeveloped and was launched by the Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs on 8 May 2009. For the first time there is a facility for suppliers and other regulators to submit product recall notifications using a standardised and secure online s. 65R notification form.
Other improvements to the website include:
recalls organised by topic to make it easier for consumers to find what they are particularly interested in
an enhanced search capability
a facility for subscribing to email alerts and RSS feeds on new recalls
an expanded list of frequently asked questions
a 'Hot topic' feature that provides information on topical issues
recalls posted in the last 30 days
recalls listed by year and within selected categories
an updated guide on how to conduct an effective product recall.
The Product Recalls Australia website address remains the same: www.recalls.gov.au. Alternatively it can be accessed through the ACCC's website.
