Key points
Authorities can now order immediate cessation of distribution and recall of drugs if there is a risk of serious health consequences or death.
Drug manufacturers must report when they suspect their product is adulterated or misbranded and poses a threat.
Companies are now required to have a recall plan, which should streamline the process if needed.
