Overview

Do You Need FDA Counsel for a Product, Inspection or Warning Letter?

Health Law Alliance advises businesses whose products, facilities and communications fall within U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation. Our work includes drug and compounding matters, medical devices, cosmetics, over-the-counter products and dietary supplements. The legal questions depend on the product, its intended use, the claims being made and the business’s role in bringing it to market.

Our regulatory practice covers product planning and submissions as well as enforcement. That includes registration and listing support, labeling and advertising review, importation, clinical trial agreements, quality systems and commercial arrangements. A company preparing for launch needs a workable assessment of its proposed activities, not simply a response prepared after the FDA raises an objection.

If an inspection, Form FDA 483 or warning letter has already arrived, we examine the specific observations or alleged violations, the supporting records and the response requested. We coordinate corrective work with the legal response and assess whether related state, advertising or private-party issues also need attention.

For pharmacy businesses, our compounding pharmacy and Board of Pharmacy defense practices address the related operational and licensing matters.

FDA Regulatory Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Additional questions about working with counsel. The answers below are general; specific situations require privileged consultation.

No. Product classification and claims matter. The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) and the requirements governing nonprescription drugs address different regulatory subjects. We assess the particular product and the business’s role, including applicable exemptions, rather than applying the same registration or submission checklist to every brand.
Yes. We advise on supplement regulatory strategies, claim substantiation, new dietary ingredient notifications and health-claim petitions. The proposed ingredient, claim and submission each need their own review. Dr. Rumore’s practice also includes assistance with good manufacturing practices and serving as the U.S. Agent for a registered dietary supplement firm.
Yes. We advise on scientific communications and responses to requests for off-label information. The context, audience, speaker and proposed material matter. Counsel reviews those facts and the applicable requirements.
We advise on FDA and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration matters involving products such as hand sanitizers and disinfectants. These agencies have different responsibilities. We first assess the product and its claims to identify the applicable pathway.
Provide the original communication, your complete response, the supporting materials and any subsequent correspondence. We will assess what has already been said and what further work is appropriate. A later submission should be consistent with the record and should clearly explain any correction; it cannot be assumed to erase an earlier statement.
No. FDA determines its response based on the facts, the applicable requirements and the record before it. Counsel can assess the allegations, develop the response and address corrective work, but cannot promise closure or a particular agency outcome.
