A business that does not report product defects puts its brand reputation, revenues and customers at risk. Ultimately, how a business approach product defects can play a critical role in its short- and long-term success. If a company takes a proactive approach to consumer safety management, it may be able to differentiate itself from the competition. This business will be able to track product quality and safety data and use this information to identify patterns and trends. That way, the company will be better equipped than its rivals to make the most of the quality and warranty information at its disposal.
