Shawn also guides companies through the recall process and has helped clients avoid recalls of consumer goods ranging from children’s products to home furnishings to fitness equipment. Shawn regularly advises companies on product warning and labeling matters, including development of strategies to mitigate litigation risk, as well as on compliance with Federal Trade Commission truth-in-advertising regulations and labeling and registration requirements of various federal agencies.
