FDA recalls by product type and class
An FDA recall event is one firm’s recall action; it can list many product records (sizes, flavors, lots). Class I means a reasonable probability of serious harm or death; Class II, temporary or reversible harm; Class III, unlikely to cause harm.
| Type | Events | Product records | Class I | Class II | Class III | Not yet classified |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food & cosmetics | 30 | 43 | 17 | 24 | 1 | 1 |
| Drugs | 21 | 48 | 0 | 43 | 3 | 2 |
| Medical devices | 80 | 245 | 5 | 229 | 11 | 0 |
| All FDA | 131 | 336 | 22 | 296 | 15 | 3 |
Class columns count product records. FDA records marked “Not Yet Classified” are shown separately; the class and unclassified columns add up to product records.
