Kind Sicherheit is a manufacturer of childcare safety products, primarily car seats and strollers. The products are sold directly to independent retailers in Europe. The company's risk manager knows that the company could be sued if a car seat or a stroller is defective, and someone is injured. Because cost of products liability insurance has increased, the risk manager is considering other techniques to treat the company's loss exposure.

Name at least major risk control techniques that Kind Sicherheit can apply for reducing the frequency and severity of losses due to potential products defects. Describe specific actions using these techniques that may be helpful in dealing with the company's products liability exposure.
