Drug Recalls

Drug recalls are among the most serious safety alerts in healthcare, issued when medications or medical products pose potential risks to patient health. Managed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these recalls can affect prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, medical devices, and veterinary products. Unlike food recalls, issues with medications are often not visible. A recalled drug may look and function normally while still carrying risks such as incorrect dosage, contamination, or reduced effectiveness. Staying informed is especially important for individuals managing chronic conditions or taking multiple medications. This page lists recent FDA drug recalls to help you stay aware of safety notices that may impact medications you or your family use.
