China: Only four areas of automobile, toy, medicine and food recall system in the United States: 4000 items have been recalled, almost all products Yangcheng reporter Qiang reported: After the car, children's toys, drugs, food implementation of the recall system, home appliances recall was put on the official agenda. Recently, the AQSIQ drafted the "household Appliances product recall management regulations" has begun to solicit opinions from all walks of life (hereinafter referred to as "the draft"), is expected to be officially released this year. According to the "opinion draft", the producer shall perform the recall obligation to the household electrical appliances products produced by the manufacturer, and the failure to implement the recall shall be fined below 30,000 yuan.　　But because the punishment is up to 30,000 yuan, the outside world thinks the intensity is too light, like "tickle". Current situation: The recall system lacks the consumer rights to defend the problem according to the Yangcheng Evening News reporter understands, the Chinese defective product recalls the system construction both lags and is weak, until 2004 only then issued the first related product recalls the regulation ——— "the defective automobile product recalls the management stipulation", today, also only in the automobile There are four areas of drug and food recall system. "Opinion draft", will be China's 5th Product recall field regulations.　　The United States enacted the Consumer Goods Safety Act in 1972, which now has a recall of more than 4000 products, covering almost every product that could harm consumers. China has already appeared in a number of household appliances recalls, because of the lack of relevant legal provisions, companies in the Chinese market when the recall used "customer care" such as a fig leaf to play the ball.　　In February this year, South Korea has seen the death of children locked in the LG drum washing machine, for the 672 of similar washing machines sold in China, LG China's "free door-to-door guidance and door lock detection, replacement service" replaced the "recall". Because the recall system is missing, the consumer also encounters the safeguard difficult.

If the producers violate the relevant regulations, they will be fined below 30,000 yuan.　　The draft notes, in particular, that manufacturers ' recall measures for household appliances in China should be comparable to those that were recalled outside the country. But some insiders questioned that the "maximum of 30,000 yuan" of the fine amount, for the deep pockets of home appliances business is not a deterrent, "it is" scratching the itch, the cost of not recalling is very low, then who is willing to recall it? However, there are also home appliances companies in the interview that the recall system is not the deterrent depending on the size of the fine. The head of a well-known domestic appliance brand said that household electrical appliances are the necessities of life, the prevalence of such a high rate of product implementation recalls, any manufacturers pressure will be very large.
