If the chief executive considers a recall order must be made urgently to prevent a serious health risk to a person, the chief executive may make the order without complying with section 120.

However, the chief executive must give the responsible person for the recall order a notice stating the following matters as soon as practicable, and no later than 48 hours, after the order is made—

the terms of the order;

the reasons for making the order;

that the person may give the chief executive written submissions, within 7 days after the day the notice is given, about why the chief executive should revoke the order.

The responsible person may, within the period stated in the notice under subsection (2)(c), give the chief executive written submissions about why the recall order should be revoked.
