OII Recall Coordinators

FDA recall coordinators are aligned in program-based inspectorates:  Medical Products (for Medical Devices and Radiological Health), Food Products (Human Food and Animal Food Operations (includes cosmetics)), Biological Products, Human and Animal Drugs and Tobacco Operations. Establishments outside the United States should continue to contact the recall staff in the Office of Field Operations and Response. 

For new recalls, use the table below to locate the recall coordinator assigned for your product type and location. Drug and device firms located outside the United States should report their recall to the Recall Coordinator in the state where your U.S. Agent is located.
