For now let us think of a midterm solution to our product, which will be a price reduction to our product because recall will cost us too much money. A mid-to-long we should stop production of the last product until we can come out with a complete new product with all the correction. To close with the product recall as I said, I think that might be a bad idea. What we can do at first, is to cut the price of our old product, stop production of the Baby-Dri, and come out with a complete new product with all the

If a product does not comply with Health Canada's legislation or it is not safe for patients, that product is recalled. When we receive a recall from the manufacturer/ importer/ distributor I need to ensure that all products recalled are identified. I need to determine if other brands, lot numbers or sizes/ strengths are affected by this letter and then put everything away from the distribution to public. Also, I check to see if any of that product were given to our patients and then let them know about it. Then those products are either returned to the manufacturer or destroyed in an environmental manner.

The most common adverse event that jeopardize patient safety is patient falls, or for documentation purpose, patient found on the floor. The most common preventable adverse event that jeopardize the nurse accountability is patient falls. In my four years of nursing I have had to complete one patient fall incident report, but I have assisted in the documentation of at least four, which was five to many patients fall. Morse fall scale is the fall risk assessment commonly used in the hospital setting. My plan is to shine the light on fall prevention intervention by taking the Morse fall scale 2-steps farther. What nurses may not know is, inpatient falls are the liability of the hospital and not reimbursed by Center for Medical and Medicaid Service (Given, Given & Spoelstra, 2012).

Then, again there are some company who have the best intent when selling their product however, there are unintentional circumstance that may occur which lead to liability for the company.

On the bright side of the airbag recall issue, there was only one distributor, Takata, that caused such an enormous burden on the automotive business. With that being said, our company would decline to partner with Takata Corp for the placement of its airbags in our products. Additionally, the root cause of the airbag problem was an attachment referred to as a deflector. We would safeguard against parts being defective by error proofing each set of airbag parts to the region of production. In other words, vehicles that we produce in cold climates would not have airbag parts from our warmer region sites. All of our testing data and safety precautionary measures that we implemented before placing airbags in our products, would be made available

World Wide Products Inc. needs to consider their products that enter into the marketplace are populated with regulations, industry standards and customary practices (Moellenberg, 2011).

As a consumer, you naturally expect that what you are buying is 100% safe, secure, and authentic because most of the time this is the case. However, for the times when something does go wrong, it is important to know the legalities of product liability as both a producer and a consumer. “Product liability is the legal liability manufacturers and sellers have for defective products that cause injury to the
