How safe is your car? This week on the Chain Reaction Podcast, we promise to uncover the facts behind major global supply chain disruptions starting with a deep dive into the automotive sector. Join us as we scrutinize Stellantis' latest airbag recall affecting popular models like the Citroen C4 and Opel, putting 29,000 vehicles under the spotlight. We’ll also navigate through the murky waters of Japan's automotive scandal, where giants like Toyota and Mazda stand accused of falsifying safety and emission tests. To top it off, we'll break down Nvidia's astounding rise to a three trillion valuation, surpassing even Apple as the world's second-largest business — a milestone propelled by the soaring demand for their cutting-edge chips.

Our investigation doesn’t stop there. We turn our attention to the critical supply chain challenges faced by various sectors worldwide. From the alarming shortage of essential medicines in UK pharmacies to a recent Boeing 777 engine emergency, we'll cover it all. We'll also discuss the soaring global commodity prices affecting food supplies, a controversial call by US lawmakers to ban Chinese battery manufacturer CATL over forced labor allegations, and the dire importance of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as illustrated by cases involving pharmaceutical giants like GlaxoSmithKline. Engage with us for a comprehensive examination of the complexities and challenges that are reshaping global supply chains today.
