Competition and Consumer Act 2010

The Commonwealth Minister must issue a proposed recall notice if the Commonwealth Minister proposes to issue a recall notice for consumer goods of a particular kind.

Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a recall notice if the Commonwealth Minister has issued a notice under section 132J certifying that the recall notice should be issued without delay.

The proposed recall notice must:

be in writing; and

be published on the internet; and

set out a copy of a draft recall notice; and

set out a summary of the reasons for the proposed issue of the recall notice; and

invite any person who supplies, or proposes to supply, consumer goods of that kind to notify the Commission, in writing and within a period specified in the notice, if the person wishes the Commission to hold a conference in relation to the proposed issue of the recall notice.

The period specified in the proposed recall notice under paragraph (3)(e):

must be a period of at least 10 days, or such longer period as the Commonwealth Minister specifies in the notice; and

must not commence before the day on which the notice is published.

A proposed recall notice is not a legislative instrument.
