FDA Repeat Offender Checker
A descriptive count of what our FDA enforcement database already has on file for a company — warning letters, recalls, 483s, and approvals — with a dated timeline. It does not forecast whether a company will face future FDA action.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Repeat Offender Checker predict future FDA action?
No. It is a descriptive count of what our FDA enforcement database already has on file for a company — warning letters, recalls, Form 483s, and approvals — with a dated timeline. It does not forecast whether a company will face future FDA action.
What counts does it show?
Warning letters, recalls, Form 483 inspection observations, and approvals on file for the company, plus a dated timeline of every matched action, most recent first.
Is the tool free?
Yes, no signup or card required, with a fair-use daily rate limit of 50 lookups per IP address.
What happens if a company isn’t in the database?
The tool tells you plainly that no company matching your search was found in our tracked database (currently companies with a published FDA enforcement history), rather than guessing.
Where do the timeline entries link to?
Each timeline entry links to its Argus HQ record for that warning letter, recall, approval, or Form 483 inspection.
How current is this data?
Argus HQ monitors FDA warning letters, recalls, 483s, and approvals daily — see plans for ongoing per-company monitoring beyond this free lookup.
