Drug & Product Injuries guide
Harmed by a drug, medical device, or product?
Don’t let them off the hook.
Put what happened into plain words: what you used, when, and what happened to your health. If you still have the product or its packaging, keep it.
Your health comes first. Don’t stop taking a prescribed medicine, or change how you use a medical device, without talking to your doctor first.

Does this sound like what happened?
For example:

- A product caught fire, broke, or caused an injury in normal use.
- You learned about a recall after you were already hurt.
