Consumer Products & Recalls

ARPC has extensive experience relating to consumer product issues. We assist our clients in matters involving product recalls and alleged product failures, and in reviewing the validity of internal company pre-market sampling populations. Product recalls are normally initiated by companies due to consumer complaints, the detection of a faulty product or by a regulatory agency’s allegation. ARPC assists in matters where regulatory agencies request product recalls based on faulty statistical samples that result in erroneous conclusions. ARPC experts are instrumental in the design and review of statistical samples as they relate to consumer products. We have significant experience in valuing damages or potential exposure associated with faulty products and product recalls that are resolved within or outside of a litigation environment.

In a litigation environment, opposing experts usually value the damages differently. ARPC consultants have experience in calculating economic damages and analyzing opposing expert calculations. Our valuations and analysis are independent, unbiased and withstand the scrutiny of cross-examination in litigation environments. We communicate our analysis in simple terms that are easily understood, no matter how complex or technical the matter. The general areas of expertise in consumer product issues include:

• Designing and implementing sampling associated with product recalls

• Valuing damages associated with faulty products/product recall.

• Reviewing statistical sample validity regarding alleged product failures

• Assisting clients with analyzing pre-market statistical samples
