Abstract: | The regulatory effectiveness, the impact on industry and consumers of product withdrawal and the associated wider issues relating
to crisis management represent an under-researched area. The authors describe the mid-2003 government-ordered withdrawal of
almost 2,000 complementary and alternative medicines, across multiple brand names, in Australia and New Zealand. The report
is based on an examination of the media coverage of the event and on interviews with key informants in manufacturing and retailing
and the regulatory system. This massive, multi-brand recall provides an opportunity to examine the effectiveness and efficiency
of the management of a cross-border withdrawal from regulatory and consumer policy perspectives and makes recommendations
for the management of future recall events.
