A recall action is taken to resolve a problem with therapeutic goods supplied in the Australian market that have, or may potentially have, deficiencies relating to safety, quality, efficacy (performance) or presentation. Descriptions of the different types of recall actions is available at: About Australian recall actions.
Recall actions are published on the SARA database two business days after the TGA sends the agreement letter to the Responsible Entity (the person who is responsible for taking the recall action).
This allows time for the Responsible Entity to distribute their recall communication.
In certain circumstances (e.g. consumer level recall actions, hazard alerts for implantable products or other noteworthy actions), notices are also published on the alerts page.
