Voluntary recalls are a vital means to protect public health and typically are the quickest way to remove defective or potentially harmful food, medical, and consumer products from the market. FDA’s new Draft Guidance includes steps companies may take to plan, prepare and initiate a voluntary recall in the event of a problem. The Guidance includes information on employee training, record keeping and written procedures for executing a recall. Companies in need of assistance in developing these tools or who feel a voluntary recall is warranted may contact EAS for assistance.
