The current Act stipulates that where a product distributed in the market causes or is likely to cause danger or harm to the life, health or property of consumers due to any defect in the product, the head of a central administrative agency may recommend the business owner of the relevant product to recall and take other necessary measures.
However, where performance is poor despite the measures taken by a business owner to recall defective products upon the recommendation of the head of a central administrative agency, there is no standard for assessing it, undermining control over untrustworthy performance of his/her duties. In addition, although it is reasonable for business owners to bear the expenses incurred in recalling defective products, in not a few cases, they pass the expenses on to consumers. Thus, it is pointed out that obligations of business proprietors to pay the full cost of recalling, etc., must be specified in the Act.
Accordingly, the Act aims to create applicable provisions that require the head of an administrative agency to determine the recommendation standards such as recall rate when recommending product recalls, and to require business owners to bear the full cost of such recalls (Article 10, Article 11, Article 13).

Impose obligations on business owners who must conduct product recalls to bear the full cost involved (Article 10, paragraph 4, Article 13, paragraph 4).
