Frequently Asked Questions

An FDA drug recall is an action taken to remove a medication from the market because it may be defective, contaminated, improperly manufactured, or mislabeled. Recalls can be initiated voluntarily by the manufacturer or requested by the FDA. Common reasons include cGMP violations, impurity contamination (such as NDMA or other nitrosamines), potency issues, failed sterility testing, and labeling errors.

The FDA classifies drug recalls into three levels. Class I is the most serious, the product may cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Class II means the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects. Class III is the least serious, the product is unlikely to cause adverse health effects.

Do not stop taking critical medications abruptly without consulting your doctor. Contact your healthcare provider for guidance on alternatives. Return recalled medication to the pharmacy for a refund. Report adverse reactions to the FDA through their MedWatch program.

All drug recall data comes from the U.S. FDA through the openFDA enforcement database. We maintain 17,963 drug safety records from 2006 to 2026.
