Dangerous Drug Recall Attorney

Corporate greed, negligence, failure to warn and inadequate testing can all result in dangerous drugs being released on the market. Drug manufacturing is big business, with billions of dollars at stake for companies that rush to be among the first to release a specific drug.

The FDA is constantly mandating black box warnings and recalling dangerous prescription drugs. For additional information on FDA drug recalls, visit the FDA Website. According to the FDA, there are three classes of recalls:

• Class I recall: a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
• Class II recall: a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
• Class III recall: a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
• Market withdrawal: occurs when a product has a minor violation that would not be subject to FDA legal action. The drug company removes the product from the market or corrects the violation. For example, a product removed from the market due to tampering, without evidence of manufacturing or distribution problems, would be a market withdrawal.
