Product recalls may also be arranged by medical recall management companies, Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) or other regulators in Sydney if suppliers are found to have sold dangerous consumer or pharmaceutical products. In some situations, recall management companies may advise the responsible Commonwealth Minister or TGA to pass a mandatory medical recall management ordinance to safeguard the public from an unsafe product.
