I contacted management about this earlier today and was told that Greenspace has insurance for this sort of thing so the direct hit to financials will be minimal.
They are more rightly concerned with any potential change in consumer sentiment, which could affect sales in the short term. They have been active on social media today being clear and forthcoming with the public about the recall. Here's what was written on Love Child Facebook page:
