This episode is a dialogue between Melissa and Lee about a company that made something with a problem and had to get people to send it back to them in order to fix it. Let’s get started.
Melissa: This is a disaster! If we have to recall 100,000 units, we’ll take a huge loss this year.
Lee: We have no choice. The product defect poses a safety hazard. If we don’t act quickly, we’ll have a huge liability issue on our hands.
Melissa: I think we’re blowing this out of proportion.
