Each year, the US 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 the manufacturing process and often involve packaging breaches. Bacterial contamination, incorrect labeling, and improper storage are some of the common culprits that can turn a lifesaving drug or device into a harmful one.
This slideshow covers nine recalls. The first four concern pharmaceutical recalls by FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The last five concern medical device recalls by the agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
