From 1 January 2011, suppliers of consumer goods and related services will be required to make a report to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) if they become aware a consumer product they supplied or serviced has caused, or may have caused, serious injury, illness or death. Mandatory safety reporting was introduced via the Trade Practices Amendment (Australian Consumer Law) Act (No 2) 2010 (Act) in an attempt to identify significant consumer product hazards in a timely fashion.
