About this reference

Every drug recall published by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration is made public through the openFDA project. This site is a fast, searchable mirror of that dataset — every recall, indexed by brand, generic name, active ingredient, and manufacturer.

What's a Class I recall?

FDA classifies recalls by severity of the health risk:

• Class I — reasonable probability that use of or exposure to the drug will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
• Class II — use may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences; probability of serious consequences is remote.
• Class III — use is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

Recalls are graded by the FDA's Division of Enforcement; the classification is a health-hazard assessment, not a legal finding.

Data source

All records sourced from openFDA's drug enforcement endpoint via its published JSON bulk export. Refreshed weekly. Each recall is cross-referenced to its normalized openFDA drug metadata (brand names, generic names, NDC codes, active ingredients, RxCUI).

Not legal or medical advice

If you believe you were injured by a recalled drug, contact your healthcare provider and consider consulting a licensed attorney. If you have a drug currently under recall, follow the recalling firm's instructions in the recall notice or contact your pharmacist directly.
