The Meaning of "Immediate"

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a different definition of the word than you and I. Companies are required to 'immediately' notify the commission of dangerous products. A study by Public Citizen, Nader's group, shows that in many cases 'immediate' could mean almost three years, as this was the average reporting time by the manufacturers.

'Immediate' is faster to the commission itself. It only took 200+ days to inform the public of the defective product.
