You then need to decide whether to recall all product which has the defect and devise and implement a recall plan.

Indeed, Asian countries need to take actions necessary to implement relevant chemical related conventions at the national level. 

When it comes to the third element, preventive measures in the form of substitution or various types of restrictions are very difficult to implement under TSCA. The EPA is not completely free to take action (under e.g. Section 6), even when risks have been more or less completely proven, since a number of other provisions must be followed and since the burden of proof rests completely on the EPA. This is clearly illustrated by the passiveness of the EPA in relation to Section 6 action after the asbestos court case.

Any decision by the regulatory body to require corrective actions and/or safety improvements should take account of the actual benefit to safety that the action will achieve and the duration of the benefit (the remaining period of plant lifetime).
