Published
This safety alert was published to direct enquiries about therapeutic consumer goods recalls to the Therapeutic Goods Administration website.
As of 31 January, 2023, the majority of new voluntary recalls of therapeutic consumer goods will no longer also be published by the ACCC on the Product Safety Australia website.
Voluntary recalls of therapeutic consumer goods will only be published by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) on the TGA web site.
The ACCC will only continue to mirror publications of voluntary recalls of therapeutic goods where the goods are subject to an Australian Consumer Law Safety Standard or Ban.
For suppliers: submitting voluntary recalls of therapeutic consumer goods
There is no change to processes for suppliers. Suppliers of therapeutic consumer goods subject to recall will continue to notify and provide information about the recalled goods to the TGA.
Recalls Remaining on the Product Safety Australia Website
The following types of TGA recalls remain on the Product Safety Australia website:
- voluntary recalls of consumer goods related to button and coin battery safety
- voluntary recalls of glucomannan in tablet form which is banned from supply in Australia
- voluntary recalls of therapeutic consumer goods published pre-2023
For consumers: searching for a voluntary recall of therapeutic goods
Consumers can find new voluntary recall notices on the TGA web site. The Product Safety Australia recalls site will redirect consumers to the TGA site.
