As of December 10, 2010, the former FDA 24-hour emergency number, 301-443-1240, will be disconnected. Because the Office of Emergency Operations has moved to FDA’s White Oak Campus, the new numbers will be 1-866-300-4374 or 301-796-8240.
These numbers can be used to report the following types of problems to FDA:
- A serious, life-threatening event involving an FDA-regulated product, i.e., foods, dietary supplements, cosmetics, human drugs animal drugs, medical devices, biological products, and radiation-emitting electronic products
- Requests from medical professionals for approval for the use of an emergency investigational new drug, device or biologic.
