About this data

Each row is one FDA drug enforcement report: one product from one firm. A week here is Monday to Sunday, keyed on the date FDA listed the recall in its weekly Enforcement Report. The date the firm started the recall is shown on each row and is often weeks earlier.

Class I means use of the product could cause serious health problems or death. Class II means it could cause temporary or reversible health problems. Class III means it is unlikely to cause health problems. RxNorm names and RxCUIs come from openFDA's match of the product to its drug label. Compounded products often have no match.

This page lists public records. It is not medical advice. Check the FDA record before acting on a recall.
