Apparemment, d’après le Wall Street Journal, Samsung a pris bizarrement un peu de retard dans son rappel des Note 7. Ils auraient du se mettre d’accord avec le CPSC aux USA afin d’organiser conjointement ce rappel (ce qui n’a pas été fait avant une semaine). Or, justement c’est ça qui pose problème, d’habitude tout le monde passe d’abord par le CSPC :
In announcing the recall, however, experts say, the South Korean company neglected to first coordinate with safety authorities in the U.S. According to U.S. law, the CPSC must be notified within 24 hours after a safety risk has been identified, and recall announcements are generally then carried out jointly.
The U.S. agency didn’t issue a statement until Sept. 9, a week after Samsung’s initial announcement.
“This is completely unusual; companies just don’t issue recalls without the CPSC,” says Pamela Gilbert, a partner with Washington’s Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca LLP and a former executive director of the CPSC.
