Drugmakers fail to report quality issues to FDA

Half of all drugmakers failed to alert the FDA about quality issues with products shipped between 2018 and 2021, according to Axios. Field alert reports (FARs) are not a required reporting measure, but help regulators assess risk to the public and how well companies manage issues. Out of 1,143 sites eligible to submit FARs, the FDA found that only 49.1 percent actually did over a four-year period.
