Recent Drug Recalls and What They Mean for You

It seems like you hear about recalls in the news all the time. From defective products to contaminated foods, there are no shortages of these frightening consumer safety alerts.

But when the FDA issues a warning about a withdrawn medication, patients like you should take notice. Learn more about the recent drug recalls and what they mean for you with this guide from the knowledgeable dangerous drug attorneys at Bordas & Bordas.

Which Drugs Were Recently Recalled?

Pharmaceutical companies have a legal responsibility to keep their patients safe from potentially dangerous or defective drugs. The FDA has announced the withdrawal of numerous medications in 2025 that could be harmful to your health.

This long list of affected drugs includes common products like Cefazolin, DermaKleen, Zicam, Octagam, and Rizatriptan. Whether the issue was due to the presence of allergens and impurities, mislabeling and mispackaging, or microbial contamination, taking these affected drugs could pose a hazard to your and your family’s health.

What Does a Drug Recall Mean for You?

Sometimes drug manufacturers make mistakes. But whether these errors are minor, cause severe health issues, or even wrongful death, you have a right to compensation if you or a loved one has been injured by a recalled drug.

A drug recall is a measure to protect public health by removing potentially harmful substances from the market. The first step is to learn more about the affected medication and determine whether you should discontinue use and return it to the store or pharmacy. The FDA’s website is a good resource. However, if you become ill, you must seek immediate medical attention, as the recalled drug could be life-threatening.

What To Do if Your Prescription Drug Has Been Recalled

Taking an over-the-counter medication or one prescribed by your doctor is supposed to make you feel better, not endanger your health. If you recently discovered that a drug you have in your home has been recalled, contact your doctor for advice. You may have to stop taking it immediately and start on an alternative medication.
