Product Recalls Question And Answer With Tom Kozenski, VP product strategy, RedPrairie

Recent high-profile recalls for peanut butter, toys and pet foods have raised public consciousness about the safety of food and other products they buy from their local stores. We sat down with RedPrairie's VP of Product Strategy, Tom Kozenski, to discuss this issue and its impact on retailers and suppliers.

Question: These recent recalls have gotten a lot of attention. Are they just exceptions, or is this problem more wide spread than people realize?

Answer: Unfortunately, there are recalls happening every day. Those affecting the health of our children and pets rightly get more press coverage, but retailers and suppliers up and down the supply chain must deal with recall issues all the time.
