Abstract
Nowadays, the cases, such as hiding product recalls and hazard information, are found here and there. Consumers are involved in fatal accidents, because of some product manufacturers neglect or fail to promptly respond to the potential product risks, even where they already recognize the existence of risks after their product shipment. There are legal systems in various product areas in various countries, with regard to the product recalls. With the cross-sectional and cross-national comparison of recall system and its operation in each product area, we can see there is still room for development and improvement in our current systems. In order to prevent the recurrence of those recently happening product hazard caused by manufacturer's negligence of risk information management, and to ensure the safety of consumers, the legal recall systems need to be reexamined and improved, or the establishment of disclosure and reporting system from the manufacturers toward to the government agencies and consumers, should be considered.
