The last few years have seen an explosion of threatened and filed consumer class actions seeking economic damages from manufacturers of recalled products. At the same time, a company’s approach to individual personal injury claims can tie its hands in approaching reporting and recall. Decisions made in the reporting and recall stage often heavily influence strategy and impact options for both individual and class claims.
