Which action is part of Class I recall procedures?

When a Class I recall is issued, the priority is rapid communication to patients who may be exposed to a product that could cause serious harm or death. The best action is to make an attempt to contact all patients within 24 hours so they can immediately stop using the product, seek guidance, and return or dispose of it as directed. This tight 24-hour window reflects the urgency of Class I recalls and helps prevent potential harm. Emailing or mailing within five days is too slow for a situation with serious risk. Quarantining the product is a good inventory-control step, but it doesn’t address informing patients who may be affected. Updating the recall notice without actively contacting patients leaves those at risk uninformed.
