Novartis Consumer Health: FDA recalls

FDA enforcement reports name Novartis Consumer Health as the recalling firm in 11 events. The events have 60 product records. All the recalls started in 2013.

It is important to note that most of the time recall classifications are determined after the recalling firm provides all of the information needed to determine the risk posed to public health. The classification and posting in the FDA Enforcement Report should not be seen as an expansion or change to a firm’s voluntary public warning.
