Cargo Thefts
FDA is committed to protecting consumers from the threat of stolen, counterfeit, and diverted FDA-regulated products such as prescription or over-the-counter medicines, medical devices, or infant formula. FDA created this webpage to provide timely notice to the public about cargo thefts involving FDA-regulated products that have been stolen either from warehouses or tractor-trailers. These stolen products may put American consumers at risk because they may not have been stored or handled properly or may have been tampered with while out of the normal supply chain, and therefore may cause harm. Stolen products may enter the supply chain as a result of illegal transactions by individuals and distributors.
By following the advice contained in the posted notices, consumers, retailers, healthcare professionals, pharmacies, and wholesalers/distributors can help protect themselves and others from purchasing, receiving or using stolen products.
FDA reminds healthcare professionals, pharmacies, wholesalers/distributors, and retailers that they are valuable partners in protecting consumers from the threat of stolen, counterfeit, and diverted FDA-regulated products. The receipt of suspicious or unsolicited offers from unknown suppliers should be questioned, and extra caution should be taken when considering such offers. Click on the following link to report any suspected criminal activity to FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/email/oc/oci/contact.cfm).
