International Drug and Device RecallsProactive Planning for FDA, WHO, EMA and Health Canada
Product Details
— Recall News Alerts —
Drugs: Recently, the FDA’s Office of International Programs (OIP) said it is exploring a single, global drug recall system that would encompass all domestic and international drug recalls.
Devices: Both CDRH and Health Canada plan to issue guidance soon on what evidence acceptably shows that a company’s recalls has been effective. These recall strategies are expected to document supply chain communications down to the patient.
No one can argue that it seems the FDA appears to be taking a tough stance on recall strategy. Are you ready?
Now, more than ever, you need a proactive recall strategy, one that includes the United States and every other country in which your products are sold.
Like it or not — despite the complicated process you have to go through to receive regulatory approval — product recalls are a reality, in the U.S. and in every other country where your product is sold.
Those unprepared will see millions siphoned from their bottom lines — spent on everything from damage control advertisements to public relations experts — with countless man-hours wasted on spin control instead of new product development.

- When you must develop a proactive international recall strategy and how to do it
- What role your attorneys and outside professionals should play during a recall

Mr. Wood has received rave reviews from prior FDAnews presentations, including:
"It was well organized. The presenter was prepared and gave good verbal example and gave me ideas on how to improve our recall process."
"Strong internal recalls presentation and good fielding of questions."
No company ever wants to face a recall. But recalls will happen — and an FDA “seal of approval” is no guarantee you’ll escape it.
