Even after working 14 years in the Product Liability Insurance industry, I was shocked at by the facts in “Product Recall and Traceability.” The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 48 million cases of food-borne illnesses result in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths every year.
