Non-Blood Product On-Going Recalls

FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is beginning a pilot programintended toexpedite notifications of Non-Blood (HCT/P, Vaccine, Derivative, etc) product recalls that are classified under the Direct Recall Classification (DRC) Program to the public. CBER's DRC Program decreases the resources needed to classify and publish recalls, and allows the reallocation of resources to other agency priorities related to protection of the public health. In addition to the information about classified recalls found in the weekly Enforcement Report, the agency will include actions that have been determined to be on-going recalls and that have beenclassified as Class I, II or III.These select Non-Blood recalls will be republished with their final classification once the firm's recall is complete. Please send comments or suggestions to CBER_RecallAlerts@fda.hhs.gov.
