Australian Consumer Law (Competition and Consumer Act 2010 Schedule 2) s131: s 131 Report consumer goods associated with death or serious injury or illness within 2 days

A supplier of consumer goods in trade or commerce who becomes aware of a death or serious injury or illness of any person, and considers, or learns that someone else considers, that it was or may have been caused by the use or foreseeable misuse of the goods, must within 2 days give the Commonwealth Minister a written notice (the ACCC mandatory reporting form) identifying the goods and giving, so far as known, when and in what quantities they were made, supplied, imported or exported, the circumstances, the nature of the injury or illness and any action taken or intended. Reporting is required whether or not the goods were in use at the time, and awareness can come from consumers, resellers, repairers, insurers or industry or consumer organisations. It is not required where it is clear or very unlikely that the goods caused it, or where notification is required under a law specified in reg 92 (for example the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, State public health and road transport laws) or a specified industry code. A report is not an admission of liability and is confidential (s 132A).

  • RPT-15B Report defects, noncompliance and unreasonable risks to the Commission within 24 hours

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
