The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 23 issued a new draft guidance to help manufacturers avoid delays in preparing, planning, and executing voluntary recalls.

The guidance includes recommendations in three areas:

proper training of personnel
thorough and organized record keeping
written recall initiation procedures.

The guidance is the latest step in the agency’s commitment to working with companies to quickly act to protect consumers from potentially dangerous products, the FDA says.
