Costly errors

Article Abstract:

Manufacturers should ensure a high-quality of workmanship during the production process to prevent having to recall unsafe products at a later date. Several products manufactured in the UK were recalled during the first three months of 1997 for a variety of reasons, such as failure to meet flammability standards, nuts added to foods which should have been nut-free and glass found in packets of crisps. Some products become unsafe due to a breakdown in the manufacturing process such as metal scraps found in packets of crackers whilst other problems arise from poor design making them unsafe.

Article Abstract:

The increased volume of personal injury claims will put a strain on corporate finances, although changes in legal aid rules have made it more difficult for most victims to bring cases. This has led to personal injury victims litigating on a do-it-yourself basis and lawyers have successfully pressed for the implementation of conditional fee agreements.

The greatest risk for air travellers in 2001 is not from a crash, but from a cabin-related incident. Cases of deep vein thrombosis were rare ten years ago, but privatisation has led to less space and poor air quality in airplanes.
