Questions to ask
- What product lines are manufactured, and which carry the highest injury potential — chain saws, pneumatic nailers, corded high-voltage tools?
- Are products sold domestically only, or also exported or sold through international online channels?
- Has the operation experienced any product recalls or product liability claims in the past five years?
- Are safety certifications (UL, CSA, CE) maintained for all product lines?
- Does the operation manufacture under its own brand, private-label for retailers, or both?
