HRS §328-17.5

Drug recall: who must pull the drug

When a drug is recalled—whether the maker does it on its own or the FDA or a court orders it—the main labeler must take the drug out of every pharmacy, doctor's office, medical oxygen distributor, non-prescription drug distributor, and health care facility. This section only covers that removal duty.
