ACCC recall support

ACCC recall support service for manufacturers

If your product may be unsafe or non-compliant, you need to act quickly. Universal Approvals helps manufacturers, importers, distributors and responsible suppliers manage product recalls in Australia with clear technical and regulatory support.

We assist with product risk assessment, ACCC recall documentation, customer communication, corrective action planning and post-recall compliance review.

When you may need recall support

You may need recall support if your product has a safety risk, defect, incorrect labelling, customer complaints, incident reports, or possible non-compliance with Australian product safety requirements.

Common issues include electrical shock, fire, overheating, battery failure, mechanical hazards, incorrect warnings, poor instructions, design faults, manufacturing defects, or similar recalls reported overseas.

Universal Approvals helps you understand the risk, review your available evidence, and decide the most appropriate next step before the issue becomes harder to manage.
