1 FDA Recalls and Consumer Complaints Los Angeles Customs Broker and Freight Forwarders Association Meeting March 15, 2012 Larry Howell, CDR, USPHS Deputy Director, Import Operations Branch U.S. Food & Drug Admin., Los Angeles District
2 November 8, 1937 Letter to President Roosevelt Let me take few moments to read you a letter that was written to President Roosevelt November 8, 1937 by Mrs. Maise Nidiffer of Tulsa, OK.
3 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937
4 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937 Aside from the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 and the Harrison Act of 1914 banning the sale of some narcotic drugs, there was no federal regulatory control ensuring the safety of new drugs in 1937.
5 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937 In 1937, S. E. Massengill Company, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, created a preparation of sulfanilamide using diethylene glycol (DEG) as a solvent, and called the preparation "Elixir Sulfanilamide". DEG is poisonous to humans, but Harold Watkins, the company's chief pharmacist and chemist, was not aware of this (although it was known at the time).
6 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937 The company started selling and distributing the medication in September By October 11, the American Medical Association received a report of several deaths caused by the medication. 105 deaths were blamed on the medication. There were 105 deaths and 248 survivors. Legend has it" that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt read the letter.
7 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937 Congress responded to public outrage & pressure from President Roosevelt by passing the 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which required that companies perform animal safety tests on their proposed new drugs and submit the data to the FDA before being allowed to market their products. The Massengill Company paid a $26,100 fine under provisions of the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act, which prohibited labeling the preparation an "elixir" if it had no alcohol in it (the largest fine ever levied for violation of the 1906 FDA law).
8 Elixir Sulfanilamide disaster of 1937 Fortunately, because of the FDA's diligence, 228 of the 240 gallons of the elixir were retrieved before distribution. It is estimated that if all 240 gallons had been consumed, the number of deaths could have exceeded 4000 ( Recall Audit check ). Massengill's chemist, Harold Watkins, was later fired. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while cleaning his handgun. It is unknown whether he committed suicide or if the death was an accident.

20 Classification Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
21 Class I Examples Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7 in RTE food Dietary supp. products containing aristolochic acid, a potent carcinogen and nephrotoxin Dietary supp. products containing a prescription drug that could have serious, lifethreatening consequences in some people.

43 FDA s Reportable Food Registry (RFR)
44 RFR At A Glance The RFR covers all foods regulated by FDA except infant formula and dietary supplements. The RFR was established to provide a reliable mechanism to track patterns of adulteration in food in order to support efforts by FDA to target limited inspection resources to protect the public health. Failure to report a reportable food is a prohibited act under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
45 RFR At A Glance (cont d) Beginning September 8, 2009, the RFR required a responsible party to file a report through the RFR electronic portal at when there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, an article of food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. Such foods are Reportable Foods.
46 RFR At A Glance (cont d) Responsible party is defined as the person who submits the registration information to FDA for a food facility that manufactures, processes, packs, or holds food for human or animal consumption in the United States.

50 Consumer Complaints
51 Definition Consumer Complaint A notification that a product in commercial distribution may be in violation of the laws or regulations administered by the FDA, may have caused an illness, injury, or death, or is alleged to have caused problems not covered by the above.
52 Background The Consumer Complaints System collects information on the condition of FDA regulated products on the market which consumers are dissatisfied with. This information can be compiled and evaluated to highlight current problems, long term trends and can be used as background data in the development of Center programs.
53 Recoding Complaints Complaints are logged into the FDA s Field Accomplishments and Compliance Tracking System (FACTS) Consumer Complaint System for each complaint received by telephone, mail, or in person from consumers. This action is done by a District Consumer Complaint (CC) Coordinator.
54 Time Frames Promptness of the follow up to a complaint is based on the seriousness of the complaint. Complaints of life threatening or severe adverse consequences are followed up immediately. Less serious injury/illness complaints are followed up within 1 2 days of receipt.
55 Compliant Follow-Up The CC Coordinator and his/her Supervisory Investigator determine the appropriate follow up and assign the complaint to a supervisory group for action. Non injury complaints are evaluated by the CC Coordinator to determine what follow up, if any, is required. Those complaints requiring routine follow up are sent to the State, District work plan folder, or file for coverage during the next scheduled inspection.
