Where is the drug recall info?
In a recent visit to the FDA website, I found it interesting that recall information on drugs is harder to find on the website than all these nutritional recalls. When I typed in the words “prescription drug recalls”, I got this message: Your search – “prescription drug recalls” – did not match any documents. No pages were found containing “prescription drug recalls”. If I tried just the word recalls, the first thing that came up was cheese balls that were being recalled, there’s that nutrition target again. Amazingly enough, when I searched for drug recalls, again, the cheese ball recall was first. What does that have to do with drugs? I did find a page that listed medications where there is an FDA safety alert. That list is quite extensive. It’s as if the FDA is very, very, very busy finding health products that have been contaminated or which contain misleading ingredients lists. The drug recalls are lumped in with every other recall, making them much harder to find. Ambiguous Recal
