RecallReport.org

 RecallReport.org is a site that was created by concerned professionals who wanted to bring the latest and most important information about medications and medical devices that could cause harm. Consumers and patients put their trust in manufacturers of medical products and drugs, their doctors, and the government agencies that regulate them, but that trust can be violated. People need to be informed and to be prepared to advocate for their own best interests and safety, and they can do that thanks to RecallReport.org.

Information on All Potentially Dangerous Drugs

One of the most important things that the site offers the public is well-researched and documented information about the drugs and medical devices that may be dangerous. Many of these products come with warnings, but consumers are not always aware of the warnings, what they mean, or whether or not the warnings mean they should use a drug or medical device.

As an example, drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes are popular and big sellers for manufacturers. Millions of Americans struggle with this chronic illnesses and rely on medications to help them lower blood sugar levels. But many of the drugs used to treat diabetes have the potential to cause serious side effects: severe urinary tract infections, diabetic ketoacidosis, congestive heart failure, and even pregnancy complications.

Important Health and Wellness Information

We believe that patients and consumers have a right to have this information and to have it explained in a clear way that makes sense. But good health is more than just using drugs and medical devices. To truly be advocates for their own well-being and safety, people need to understand basic health and wellness. This is why the site provides a comprehensive overview of various areas of health, including women’s health, men’s health, veteran’s health, senior health, and much more.

Resources and Advocates for Victims

RecallReport.org provides important information for consumers, but it also offers access to resources and support for those who need it. Too many people have already fallen victim to the terrible side effects and complications that dangerous drugs and devices can cause. These include women who have suffered serious internal damage because of transvaginal mesh and all the men and women who were prescribed painkillers like oxycodone and then became dependent on them.

These victims and their families often feel lost, unsure what steps they can take to get justice or compensation for skyrocketing medical bills. At RecallReport.org, these victims get information and the chance to get connected to the people who will advocate for them. With this powerful information and access to experts in law and medicine, victims of dangerous drugs, recalled medications, and faulty medical devices can get closure and justice.

 

The Consumer Safety Guide was created to keep the public informed about consumer dangers and safety issues associated with numerous products that can cause the public harm.

Their website is constantly being updated with the most recent information on the most popular prescription medications and FDA-approved medical devices that could be endangering your health or putting your loved ones at risk.

Their mission is to keep you informed and help you make the most educated decisions about your healthcare!

GET THE LATEST INFORMATION

A recall occurs when a medication or product is faulty or has side effects so severe that it becomes potentially dangerous to human health. Recalls happen for a number of reasons, including faulty packaging, contamination, poor manufacturing, and more. The FDA issues alerts and statements when a medication or product is recalled, as well as for products that are still on the market, but showing signs of a potential recall.

Whether it’s manufacturing recalls, faulty design recalls, or even recalls that never occurred but should have, we provide detailed facts regarding numerous medications and products that have proven to be harmful.

SIDE EFFECTS

WHILE SIDE EFFECTS ARE OFTEN EXPECTED WHEN TAKING A NEW MEDICATION, THEY SHOULDN’T SIGNIFICANTLY INTERFERE WITH YOUR HEALTH OR MAKE YOU EVEN SICKER

Common side effects such as fatigue, light headaches, muscle aches, and slight nausea generally wear off once you’ve gotten used to the drug. Some side effects, however, are much more damaging and can prove to be extremely dangerous, causing life-threatening illnesses.

Pharmaceutical companies must thoroughly test medications and disclose all results before allowing them onto the market–but sometimes, this doesn’t happen. The result can be dangerous side effects, such high blood pressure, seizures, heart complications, liver damage, birth defects, and more, including death.
