Although a recent development, this global database is open to states and organisations interested in providing information on product recalls and is rapidly expanding. The possible addition of data from the ASEAN Committee on Consumer Protection (ACCP) on ‘product alerts’, namely, the Lists of Official Recalled/Banned Products and Voluntary Recalled/Banned Products in ASEAN publicised online since November 2011,would enrich the OECD’s database. This inclusion would allow for more publically available data to producers, consumers and policy makers
