ABOUT
Product Liability & Product Recall
When a product liability or product recall situation occurs, businesses frequently find themselves suffering a financial loss or being held responsible for the financial loss suffered by another business. Regardless of whether or not the loss is due to a product defect, contamination, or tampering, MDD can help accurately quantify the resulting loss.
We produce comprehensive checklists and documentation requests to ensure we receive the information needed to efficiently and accurately quantify the loss. When we’re involved early in the process we can expedite the process and assist in managing expectations for all parties.
