When a defect endangers people or property, treat recall duties as a clock — silent sell-through is the failure mode.
China’s product recall framework expects producers and relevant operators to report, notify and remediate defective goods under SAMR-led systems, with sector overlays. Timelines and reportability turn on defect seriousness and knowledge. The live recalls-obligations wiki stays the deep related guide — this page is the atomic map entry. Product liability covers injury claims. CCC/GB explain how defect is often proved. Do not wait for a perfect root-cause memo before preserving evidence.
