Mock recall and recall simulation training
Your first line of defense
Chemical recalls affect all types of products. From cellphone cases and dog food to diapers, food, toys, cosmetics, leather goods, clothing, liquors, and many more.
No matter what industry, companies have to be prepared for the possibility of a recall due to chemical contaminations and hazards.
If you are a manufacturer in any of these categories, having a tested recall plan is your first line of defense.
Mock Recall and recall simulation training is your true defense shield, when conducting a recall. From teaching you how to coordinate, initiate, manage, document, track and communicate effectively and efficiently with your team, Mock Recalls can help prepare you against any common recall mistakes.
Based on where your organization’s recall readiness, our recall training program can be customized to fit your organization’s needs.
Let TREIVR Recall Management defend your company against any common recall mistakes, missed communications and deadlines.

Recall Planning and Testing could include:
- Procedures for acquiring data that may lead to recall action
- Product identification and lot code definition, lot trace systems
- Recall process flow diagram or checklists available
- Resources identified to perform health hazard assessment
- Elements of recall strategy defined
- Model communications available: press release, customer letters

Mock Recalls VS Recall Simulations
Conducting a mock recall twice a year is the basic assurance that inventory can be traced in the event of a recall. A recall simulation ensures that the organization is trained and ready to respond with a robust recall plan.
A recall simulation involves a fictitious, but realistic, situation about one of your company’s products currently in the marketplace, created to test the Recall Team’s ability to efficiently and effectively conduct all aspects of a recall. The initial report of an incident is escalated into a true crisis situation as the simulation progresses. Because it involves “real” product, information and records, a realistic situation, and is conducted under time pressure, it is as close to a “real” recall as possible.
A lot-trace exercise (mock recall) tests a company’s ability to either forward trace a component from receipt to finished product or backward trace a component of a finished product back to the supplier. This exercise tests a company’s record keeping procedures and systems as well as the internal tracking systems for components and finished goods.
A Recall Simulation includes all aspects of a “real” recall situation, and it tests people, processes and systems. One of the most important parts of a Recall Simulation is it puts the team in a situation which allows it to proactively practice its recall process and see how well it follows its plan. RQA will engage the team in complex and emotionally charged activities, such as initial issue investigation with limited information, decision making as a team of unique individuals, lot-trace exercise and root cause analysis, while sifting through an over-abundance of information and records, all under extreme time pressures.
