drug recall
Pharmaceutical market removal
A drug recall is the removal of a medication from the market after safety concerns emerge—typically contamination, mislabeling, or unexpected harmful effects.
Recalls may be initiated by the manufacturer or mandated by regulatory agencies like the FDA.
The company issued a voluntary drug recall after patients reported severe side effects.
Recalls are classified by severity, with Class I indicating the highest risk of serious harm.
