What you feed your family, the medication you take or administer, and the overall safety of food and medication is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We have added the FDA recalls to the Kiddie Kare (KiddieKare.com™) site to ensure that you are not only getting updates about consumer products. It is important for parents to stay up to date with the latest recalls of all products, in order to better protect their children and their family.

FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.

FDA is also responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines more effective, safer, and more affordable and by helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to maintain and improve their health. FDA also has responsibility for regulating the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health and to reduce tobacco use by minors.

Finally, FDA plays a significant role in the Nation’s counterterrorism capability. FDA fulfills this responsibility by ensuring the security of the food supply and by fostering development of medical products to respond to deliberate and naturally emerging public health threats.
