Recalls

The ACCC has published updated guidelines to assist suppliers when they need to recall a product for safety reasons.

The guidelines also inform suppliers of their Australian Consumer Law obligations and the ACCC’s role in assessing, monitoring and escalating recalls. 

A national safety warning notice has been issued to warn consumers of fire risks with recalled LG solar lithium-ion batteries. The batteries are installed in solar energy systems across the country.

As of 31 January, 2023, the majority of new voluntary recalls of therapeutic consumer goods will no longer also be published by the ACCC on the Product Safety Australia website.
