Bausch & Lomb’s Hazardous Contact Lens Cleaner
1. First, for the sake of customer and also the safety of using, B & L should have given an introduction and explanation to the buyer and also brochure about the correct of using it. If the users are using in a correct way, incidences could be avoided. Always provide the correct way to protect the public is necessary and important. Second, B & L should have established a better system on supervising their products. Supervising their company in Greenville and requiring a higher standard of manufacturing practices is needed. B & L failed to supervise the procedure until the Renu’s problem has been reported. They could have a frequent and regular checking on every stage to confirm whether everything meets the standards. Third, they should have taking immediate reaction to those incidents that had happened in Hong Kong in December 2005. However, B & L waited until April 13, 2006, and only removed all those problem products from their shelves. They should have removed it once the incident occur and find out what is the problem of causing these. If they do so, their sales and other product might not be affected.
2. As the CEO of B & L, Zarrella should withdraw all the products from every store. They should have been taking so much to make the decision of removing. Besides, he took a long time to tackle the issue. Instead of giving an announcement to the public or taking an action, they kept it “silent” to the public. Zarrella should quickly form a crisis committee to take Renu off shelves. He has to make the decision in a heartbeat. Otherwise, the negativity would migrate to other products. He also have to clarify the issue is just about MoistureLoc through any informative platform so that the problem would not travel upstream and contaminate the entire brand.

    b. Under UCC law, Alex SGC can sue LSB under Implied Warranty of Merchantability. Since the order placed by Alex SGC was for sticks of colored pearl and silver but arrived white and blue, they did not conform to the contract description of the good. Title had transferred from LSB to Alex SGC when identification and delivery were completed. Alex SGC didn’t reject any portion of the shipment at delivery, therefore implied warranty is their only recourse. LSB’s defense against Alex SGC’s suit would be that the buyer did not fulfill both of the buyer’s obligations. While the goods were paid according…

    CASE 35 – CHURCH & DWIGHT: TIME TO RETHINK THE PORTFOLIO? I. INTRODUCTION A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Summary statement of the problem: Church & Dwight, more commonly known by its brand name “Arm & Hammer,” has held a commanding lead in the sodium bicarbonate product market for over 160 years with virtually 99 percent of all consumer products in households within the United States. However, in order to promote growth and diversity while maintaining a steady profitability rate of 3-5 percent per year, the company has expanded uses of sodium bicarbonate products so that it is no longer the sole focus. In fact, the acquisition of a diverse group of consumer products in international markets has been viewed as a viable option to sustain the profitability margins well into the 21st century. (Wheelen & Hunger, p. 35-12, 2012). 2. Summary statement of the recommended solution: The relatively small company, as compared to competitors in household and personal care product markets must recognize the challenges of growing sales through acquisitions to promote growth and competitiveness within those markets, Church & Dwight must incorporate additional acquisitions of solid brands and products in order to grow market share through an expansion of product lines into a variety of “personal care, deodorizing and cleaning, and laundry products” as well as “specialty chemicals, animal nutrition, and specialty cleaners” (Wheelen & Hunger, p. 35-6, 2012). In addition, to maintain its position in the world market place, Church & Dwight must expand into international markets and gain footholds in product markets through acquisition of…

    In January 2013, Sterling Household Products Company (Sterling), a highly successful manufacturer and marketer of household goods, was experiencing low growth rates for unit volume, sales, and profits which led management to seek expansion into higher growth industries. Between 2010 and 2012, sales had a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of only 2.2%, sales volumes in units were less than 1% per year, operating expenses rising faster than inflation, and retailers with high buying power (The 10 largest customers accounted for 55% of sales). Sterling identified the health care infection-control market as an attractive sector with high growth opportunities, and the product lines were a natural extension of Sterling’s current production. Sterling found its ideal investment opportunity through Montagne Medical Instruments Company’s (Montagne) germicidal, sanitation, and antiseptic products unit (GS&A Unit). The unit was profitable with an operating margin of 18.9% in 2012 and sales grew over 5% annually the past two years. However it was not a core focus for Montagne and required scarce resources and time, so Montagne was eager to sell the unit.…

    The initial information provided about Portland Plant demonstrates that the plant's people and culture lack integrity. The Portland Plant culture is summed up in one sentence: as long as paper is being made within the specific requirements, then everything is fine. The culture at the plant could be described as semi-committed, undisciplined, lackadaisical, and unmotivated. It seems as though the people who work for the organization only care that they are making a product within the specifications and guidelines given. At the Portland Plant, it is clear that their value and work ethic are not the best. The Quality Manager admits that their department was only there to inspect product but not necessarily take action to correct quality issues (Slack, 2007).…

    Lysol has been around since 1889 and has been known for its disinfectant purposes for more than fifty years, but in the 1950’s it was used for a completely different purpose. Lysol was used as a douching method for women and this advertisement published in the 1950’s is sponsoring Lysol as a feminine hygiene product. As a visual argumentative piece, Lysol uses several warrants and attributes to prove its point, that Lysol was gentle enough to be used as an internal cleansing product.…

    Toxic Trio

    • 1083 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Let's face it, when a woman arrives at a nail salon, the first thing she thinks about is the color of polish she is choosing or how excited she is to pamper herself. The last thing on her mind are the toxins that are in the actual nail polish. Little does she know, there are plenty of chemical compounds that are in each nail polish bottle, three of which are very toxic. They are formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl pthlate (DBP)-also known as the "toxic trio." These three toxins are in many famous nail polishes including the two leading brands, OPI and Essie. In 2006, a group of young women activists fought to eliminate the toxins, and they did. However, in 2012, the polishes were tested and to their surprise, the three toxins still existed. Why is this so? The Food and Drug Administration does not have any authority over companies to make them prove that products are safe before they are placed on shelves for consumers to buy, neither do they have control to demand a recall. With that said, this project was put together so that daily nail polish users can be more alert when buying or choosing a nail polish at a salon. The "toxic trio" is what makes every nail salon smell the way it does and it can cause many negative health effects.…

    Proctor & Gamble states in their statement of purpose and strategy, “We will continuously stay ahead of competition while aggressively defending our established profitable business against major competitive challenges despite short term profit consequences.” Therefore doing nothing is simple not an option. The market had an increase of 5 percent last year, while Scope suffered from a .7 percent loss. Plax as a new competitor to the marked was able to achieve a 10 percent market share in over only three years, and will continue to grow and could take from our share if nothing is done. If we created a ‘better tasking pre-brush rinse’ we can also compare this to Scope when entered the market. Scope had all the same attributes of Listerine but offered a better taste, and was able to penetrate the market and be successful with a 12 percent market share in one…

No one had any clue whatsoever what was in the products, and half the time, the products either made people ill, or just plain did not do what the companies claimed they did.
