Risk to Health

Under 21 CFR Part 806, the hazard level that triggers reporting of a correction or removal. Two cases qualify. One is a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death. The other is a possibility of temporary or medically reversible consequences, or of an outcome where serious consequences are remote.

Where it is written
21 CFR 806.2(k)

Avoid This Mistake

Risk to health is wider than serious harm: the Part 806 definition also reaches outcomes where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
