What is a Bambu franchisee's responsibility regarding mandatory product recalls?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must comply with the terms and conditions of any mandatory product recall promptly upon receiving notice from Bambu. This means that when Bambu issues a product recall, the franchisee is obligated to take immediate action to adhere to the recall's specific requirements.

Failure to comply with a mandatory ingredient or product recall promptly upon receipt of notice from Bambu or public health officials of such recall is considered operating the shoppe in a manner that imminently endangers the public health or safety. This failure can be grounds for default under the franchise agreement.

This requirement ensures that Bambu can maintain quality control and protect its brand reputation by swiftly removing potentially harmful products from its franchised locations. It also aligns with standard franchise practices, where franchisees are expected to implement franchisor-mandated recalls to protect customers and maintain brand integrity.
