Porridge Recall: MOMA Pots Among Items Pulled Over Contamination Risk
Moma’s response, though, has been refreshingly transparent. They didn’t go full “spin doctor.” Their CEO sent a note saying, “We are deeply sorry.” It’s a textbook example of how to handle a crisis: own it, fix it, move on. No blaming the mouse.
