ACCC's Product Safety Pledge Improves Consumer Safety Online

Today’s entertainment episode from the ACCC.

“Over 90 per cent of identified unsafe product listings were removed within two business days by online businesses signed up to the Australian Product Safety Pledge.”

Today the recall notice for the Coffin Bay oysters finally appeared on the Product Safety Australia website despite it being dated 19.11.2021 and having appeared on the Food Standards Australia New Zealand website yesterday, some 2 days after the problem appeared in the media.

So does the ACCC mean that “90 per cent of identified unsafe product listings were removed within two business days” from when the problem is first known or after the ACCC finally does something?
