Every year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalls thousands of drugs and medical devices that place patients and consumers at risk of adverse events. Many of these problems arise during or after manufacturing and often involve packaging breaches. Bacterial contamination, incorrect labeling, and improper storage are some common culprits that can turn a lifesaving drug or device into a harmful one.

The accompanying slideshow 10 recalls. The first seven concern pharmaceutical-related recalls from FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and are labeled CDER. The last three concern medical device recalls by the agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health and are accordingly tagged CDRH.
