What Types of Problems Should I Report to the FDA?
FDA is interested in reports from consumers, manufacturers, clinical investigators, and health professionals about tobacco products that:
- are damaged
- are defective
- are contaminated
- smell or taste wrong
FDA wants to know if you have experienced undesired health or quality problems that you believe may have been caused by use of a particular tobacco product. FDA also wants to know about undesired health or quality problems that may have been caused by being exposed to a tobacco product, even if you were not the user.
These types of health or quality problems could include:
- overheating, fires, explosions, or burns
- seizures or other serious nervous system issues
- toxic or allergic reactions
- an unusual problem in a long-time user
- foreign material in the product
- problems with packaging, labeling or product parts
