HOW TO REPORT PRODUCT PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION

Posted on January 09, 2017 by The VRG Blog Editor

We received a press release from the FDA concerning reporting problems.
They stated:

“If anyone has a problem or concern about any of the products that the
agency regulates, the FDA wants to hear about it. “If it’s serious to
you, we want to know,” says Anna Fine, Pharm.D., M.S., director of the
FDA’s Health Professional Liaison Program. She adds that you should
report an issue even if you’re not sure a particular product was the cause.”

“The U.S Food and Drug Administration protects the public health by
helping to ensure the safety, efficacy, and security of human and
veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, and products
that emit radiation—and by helping to ensure the safety and security of
our nation’s food supply and cosmetic products. The FDA also regulates
tobacco products.”

If you have a problem with an FDA-regulated product, you can report the
problem online, via phone, or via mail.

This is a list of products the FDA regulates.
