New Law Requires Adverse Event Reporting for Dietary Supplements and OTC Drugs
Kelley Drye Client Advisory
On December 22, 2006, President Bush signed into law the “Dietary Supplement and Non-Prescription Drug Consumer Protection Act.” The Act requires manufacturers, packers, and distributors of dietary supplements and certain over-the-counter drugs to notify the Food and Drug Administration of all serious adverse events reported by consumers. The effective date for the Act is December 22, 2007.
