Whether voluntary or mandatory, recalls are serious and time-sensitive. It is important to quickly and efficiently notify users of dangerous, defective, or hazardous products. The most common recalls include medication, vehicles, food, cosmetics, safety seats, and toys.
There are many ways to inform the public of a recall. Television, social media, print, and radio are all effective ways of spreading the word to the public. However, the most effective way to directly reach customers is through Certified Mail®. For example, if a vehicle manufacturer needs to inform customers of a seat belt recall, they can filter their records to show the customers who have purchased the car models that need replacement. In such a case, the manufacturer can send a recall notice to each customer via Certified Mail. Doing so, the company will receive 'proof of mailing', tracking information, as well as electronic delivery confirmation from the United States Postal Service.
