Companies Selling Consumer Products in the EU (Particularly Clothing, Apparel, and Footwear Companies) Beware: The New ESPR Rules on Unsold Consumer Products Have Now Entered into Force

Over the 2024 summer, new EU rules entered into force regarding unsold consumer products under the new ESPR (i.e. the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation – Regulation (EU) 2024/1781).  The legal obligations themselves are relatively concise and short in number and therefore perhaps easy to overlook.  However, companies selling or supplying consumer products in the EU/EEA – particularly companies in the clothing, footwear, apparel, textile and retail sectors – should beware and not underestimate their importance or impact.

PLAC Webinar: Recalls Gone Wrong

When a recall strikes, how you prepare and, ultimately, manage the situation can mean the difference between a loyal customer and the irreparable damage to your brand.  Even a small recall, with little potential for injury, can have huge regulatory and product liability consequences. Often times, the biggest problem is not the recall itself but the failure to prepare for its eventuality. This lack of planning can result in outdated compliance with regulatory agencies and make it almost impossible to recover from a product safety occurrence. This panel features Crowell & Moring Partner Cheri Falvey along with other thought leaders in the areas of recall preparation, execution, product liability law, and public relations.
