VisitQuick checklist if you spot a recall on your drug or device
- Don't stop a prescription cold — call your prescriber first to discuss alternatives.
- Save the bottle, packaging, lot number, and any receipts or EOBs.
- Report the problem to FDA MedWatch — it strengthens future actions.
- Search the drug or device name on ClassAction.org and Top Class Actions for open settlements.
- If a settlement exists, file the claim form yourself — no attorney needed for most consumer class actions.
- Document any medical costs you incurred; you may be reimbursable.
