Important information on the Database of Recalls, Product Alerts and Product Corrections
The TGA publishes information about therapeutic goods supplied in the Australian market that have been subject to a recall, alert or correction in a publicly searchable database.
Recalls, product alerts or product corrections are taken by the responsible entity (being the person who is responsible for taking the action) to resolve a problem with therapeutic goods supplied that have, or may potentially have, deficiencies relating to safety, quality, efficacy (performance) or presentation.
In simple terms, these actions are:
- Recall: the return, removal, or destruction of product in the market
- Product Alert: raises awareness of concerns with a product or the use of that product. It may describe actions that users can take to mitigate the risks, or information for health practitioners on how to manage patients
- Product Correction: to correct/fix a problem with a product (such as repair, modification, adjustment or re-labelling)
If you have any concerns about a product that you are using or have used which is subject to a recall, alert or correction, you should seek advice from a health professional.

This Database holds information on actions that have been undertaken in Australia since 1 July 2012. Actions are included in the DRAC two days after the decision between the responsible entity and the TGA to commence the action. This allows time for the responsible entity to distribute the communication to their customers. In certain circumstances (e.g. consumer level actions, or those with wider implications, such as posing a risk to the community as a whole), we publish notices on the alerts page.
Note: If you have any concerns about a product that you are using or have used which is subject to a recall, alert or correction, you should seek advice from a health professional.
