Question by Ryan R: Calculating if you should do a Product Recall or not?

Hey groups

What I am searching for is a guide/calculation/equation
that assess if you should do a product recall.

I guess is would encompass risk, cost, whether a problem can be rectified etc

I assume in some cases a manufacturer may be aware of problem due to
complaints to the company, but do they recall or do they become prepared
for complaints and rectifying the problems on an ad-hoc basis?

‘Science’ behind the decision making process basically

Any advice / suggestions / URLs appreciated

TIA

there is no science, it’s all in the politics and public relations.
