All drugs, whether prescription or over-the-counter, bearing the Akorn brand or manufactured by Akorn for other companies, are subject to a recall. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has confirmed that Akorn Operating Company LLC is recalling all of its drugs within expiry following its shutdown. The company has ceased and shut down all operations in the United States and terminated all employees at domestic sites.
Akorn is recalling various human and pet products voluntarily due to the closures and discontinuation of its quality program. The company cannot support or guarantee that the products will meet all intended specifications through the labeled shelf life. Therefore, further distribution or use of any remaining products in the market should cease immediately.
To obtain a full list of human and pet products being recalled, visit FDA.gov. As of now, Akorn hasn’t received any reports of adverse events linked to this recall.
The products were distributed nationwide to retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, repackagers, medical facilities, and directly to consumers via the Internet. Akorn recommends discarding all of its products.
If consumers have any questions regarding this recall, they can contact Akorn via the contact information listed on their website. If they or animals in their care have experienced any problems related to taking or using these drug products, consumers should contact their physician, healthcare provider, or veterinarian immediately.
The Top Five Reason People Harmed By Recalled Medications Should Pursue Compensation
Recalled medications can have devastating consequences for individuals and their families. When pharmaceutical companies fail to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products, people can suffer serious physical and emotional harm. In such cases, pursuing compensation can provide much-needed relief and support. Here are the top five reasons why people harmed by recalled medications should consider seeking legal representation to pursue compensation.
- Physical and Emotional Harm: People who have been harmed by recalled medications may experience physical injuries and emotional distress, leading to a diminished quality of life. Compensation can help alleviate the financial burden of medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Holding Companies Accountable: Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe and effective. When they fail to do so and cause harm to consumers, they should be held accountable.
- Preventing Future Harm: By pursuing compensation, individuals can help prevent future harm to others. Companies are more likely to improve their safety standards and processes if they face consequences for their actions.
- Legal Rights: Individuals harmed by recalled medications have legal rights to pursue compensation. They should not have to suffer in silence or be burdened with financial losses due to a company’s negligence.
- Closure: Pursuing compensation can provide a sense of closure for those who have been harmed. It can help them move forward and focus on their recovery.
