Question by Larce: What are examples of corrective and preventive actions?
Eg. a pharmaceutical product has become contaminated?
What would be some examples of corrective and preventive action a pharmaceutical company could take?
Would testing, identifying the cause, possible reactions – temperature, reagents be some examples? Any help appreciated.

——————————————–
A attempted corrective action is after-the-fact: a product recall.
Such actions tend to be massively expensive, because lawsuits will inevitably ensue.
A preventative action, before-the-fact, would usually include such things as more-than-adequate quality control, both chemical and microbiological, as well as the moral and ethical concern for doing things correctly, and not barracading the doors and hoping that there’s not a problem.
