Safety Alerts
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) routinely publishes a variety of alerts related to the safety of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.
The agency receives complaints and other safety-related information from health care providers, manufacturers, and consumers on its MedWatch program.
When the FDA deems it to be appropriate based on the severity of the issue, the volume of complaints, or other factors, it will issue a warning or safety alert to health care providers and the public.
Warnings and safety alerts can include:
- Product issues.
- Ancillary issues that can be a safety hazard, such as labeling.
- Recalls.
- Any other information related to a negative effect on the safety of a product.
Medical Devices and Pharma is focused on providing consumer information regarding medical devices and pharma, and we will report warnings and safety alerts for those products and any that are directly related to their safety.
