Challenge & Solution

Engage a reputable, independent, outside investigator
Once the study is complete, make it available to the baby stroller industry at large so that all companies involved in the manufacture of strollers might benefit from it. – John R. Hall, retired chairman, Ashland Incorporated
Hire a crisis management expert
charged with setting up and training a permanent, internal crisis-management team comprising people from the operations, marketing, IT, security, and legal departments. – Ian Mitroff, University of Southern California Marshall School of Business
Announce the recall in paid advertisements
as well as issuing the joint press release with the CPSC. While the CPSC does not allow ads announcing a recall to be marketing tools, the agency would allow language expressing the company’s commitment to its customers. – Alan H. Schoem, former Director of the Office of Compliance at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
