Does a retailer have to comply with a voluntary recall?
Retailers should comply with a voluntary recall initiated by a firm. If the retailer refuses, CFIA can issue a recall order to the retailer. Should a retailer fail to comply with a recall order, that retailer is guilty of an offence and could face a fine of up to $50,000 and/or a term of imprisonment. A CFIA inspector has the authority to immediately seize the identified product affected by the recall.
