The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is the government agency that oversees the manufacture and distribution of food, drugs, medical devices, radiation-emitting products, vaccines, cosmetics, and tobacco products in the United States. It is also the agency that ensures that these products are safe and don\u2019t pose unnecessary risks upon consumers.<\/p>\n

On a regular basis, various products (e.g. dangerous drugs, food, or medical devices) that are on the U.S. market (and overseen by the FDA) are found to be dangerous due to contamination, defective design, or for another reason.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, when such hazards are made known by the manufacturer through consumer complaints, the dangerous products are voluntarily removed (recalled) from the market by the manufacturer. Read on to learn more about recalls and safety notices.<\/p>\n
