Product liability serious personal injury lawyer in Augusta GA

The regulations categorize all recalls into one of three classes based on the level of hazard involved.

Class I recalls refer to dangerous or defective products which predictably may create serious health problems or death. Products that could fall into this category are a food found to contain botulinal toxin, food with undeclared allergens, a label mix-up on a life saving drug, or a defective artificial heart valve.

Class II recalls refer to products that may cause a temporary health problem, or pose just a slight threat of a grave nature. One instance is a drug which is under-strength but which is not used to treat life-threatening situations.

Class III recalls refer to products that are unlikely to result in any adverse health reaction, but which violate FDA labeling or manufacturing guidelines. For instance a container defect (plastic material delaminating or a lid that does not seal); off-taste, color, or leaks in a bottled drink, and lack of English labeling in a retail food.

FDA develops a strategy for every individual recall which details how extensively it will check on a companys performance when recalling the product in question. In case of a Class I recall, for example, FDA would check to ensure that each defective product has been recalled or reconditioned. But, in case of a Class III recall, the FDA can decide that it only needs to spot check to ensure the product is off the market.
