A Class I recall, according to the FDA, is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. A Class II recall is a situation in which the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. The FDA defines a Class III recall as a situation in which the product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
Stericycle Expert Solutions helps partners minimize risk to the public and to their company brand by executing and planning for product recalls efficiently, effectively, and compliantly. Each quarter, we analyze cumulative recall data across five product categories. This helps our partners navigate the regulatory environment and identify trends.
How the Stericycle Recall Index is Compiled
The Stericycle Recall Index gathers and tracks cumulative data from the four primary federal agencies that oversee recalls in the United States: the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Food and Drug Admin-istration (FDA), the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
FDA Data
To track trends in food, pharmaceutical, and medical device recalls, the Stericycle Recall Index uses information publicly available in news releases posted on the FDA website. For additional insight into recalls governed by the FDA, Stericycle collects and analyzes data from the agency’s weekly enforcement reports, which provide additional details including recall class, quantity of units affected, and number of reported incidents.
CPSC Data
For further insight into consumer product recall trends, Stericycle analyzes data from CPSC recall announcements. When compiling statistics and analyzing trends for consumer product recalls, the Stericycle Recall Index uses standard product categories and hazards recognized by the CPSC.
USDA Data
For additional insight into food recall trends involving meat, poultry, and egg products, the Stericycle Recall Index collects and analyzes data from recall announcements posted on the USDA’s FSIS website. Statistics and trends are compiled using standard product categories, classifications, and reasons for recalls as recognized by the USDA.
NHTSA Data
To understand trends in the automotive industry, the Stericycle Recall Index analyzes data from NHTSA reports on recalls of autos, child seats, equipment, and tires.
Terminology
Announced recalls represent those recalls documented in news releas-es published on agency websites. Enforced recalls refer to those recalls documented in weekly FDA enforcement reports that are summarized based on the FDA assigned Event ID. Their documentation can lag behind announced recalls by weeks or even months because the recall process may take time to complete.
