Are safety-related product recalls increasing? https://bit.ly/4nBrIkK Recalls indicate a failure of design and process control that put users at risk. How these recalls are quantified is probably a matter for further research, but it is possible that supply chain disruptions in the current economic climate are partly responsible. Recalls are expensive (and non-recalls of real problems even more so), and most organizations would have chosen differently if they could have known. Safety engineering and risk management is the way we quantify these issues in advance and make better informed decisions. How much value would this information have to these companies?
