If you like your liberty, you may want to listen carefully when a court orders your company to recall a product. In a recent post on Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo’s Consumer Product Matters, Dan Herling and Joshua Foust describe a case where a company’s executives were incarcerated for failing to respond to a recall in the appropriate manner.
