The process typically begins when a problem with a product is identified, either through consumer complaints, manufacturing inspections, or adverse event reports. The following steps are generally involved:
Assessment: Regulatory agencies assess the issue to determine the severity and scope of potential health risks. Notification: Manufacturers are notified and may initiate the recall voluntarily. Public Announcement: The recall is publicly announced to inform consumers and healthcare providers. Corrective Actions: The product is removed from the market, and corrective actions are taken to address the root cause of the issue. Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring and reporting are conducted to ensure the effectiveness of the recall.
