A drug recall is the Federal Food and Drug Administration?s way of protecting the public by removing harmful drugs from being available in pharmacies, drug stores, and store shelves. It basically removes a drug, both over-the-counter and prescribed, from the market. A recall is a voluntary action taken by a company when they?ve realized, or have been alerted, that their product jeopardizes the safety of users.

2019 has already started with a few drug recalls. Be aware of the recalled product and the descriptions listed below, as many times a product under a different name can be sold with the same harmful active ingredients as a recalled drug. Even when the FDA has issued a recall for a product, some consumers may still have obtained injuries from these dangerous drugs prior to their recall. If this is your case, it might be a good idea to consult with an attorney to learn if your injuries are aligned with those reported by the FDA and whether you are able to seek compensation for any of the injuries they may have caused you – including medical bills, surgeries, etc.

Pharmaceutical companies make an extraordinary amount of money on the drugs that intend to keep users alive and healthy. The least they can do is ensure those drugs are effective and safe.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so remain vigilant about drug safety and recalls. Be sure to double check about any medicines you may have that are differently named but have the same active ingredients as the recalled drugs. Stay safe for a healthier 2019.
