(WASHINGTON D.C.) - FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products recently updated the Safety Reporting Portal (SRP) for consumers, healthcare professionals, manufacturers, and researchers submitting safety issues with tobacco products.
An enhancement to the introductory section aims to educate users about what issues to report in the SRP and what issues to report elsewhere. Additional changes provide more response options for gender and healthcare professional identities. For those choosing to submit voluntary reports, the system now requires input as to whether nonusers were affected by the problem and asks how many people were affected, as well as the setting in which the problem occurred.
For tobacco product researchers, the SRP now allows you to input a list of e-mail addresses to be notified when a report is submitted, and there is a new requirement to enter an FDA-assigned protocol number (this was previously optional).
Anyone may report a problem with a tobacco product, such as a health or safety issue, to FDA via the Safety Reporting Portal. If you, or someone you know, had a reaction to or was hurt by a tobacco product, please visit the Safety Reporting Portal and provide as much information as possible. Although consumers and healthcare professionals may report anonymously, including a way for us to contact you allows FDA the option to find out more about your experience. FDA reviews all tobacco-related Safety Reporting Portal reports to identify new or concerning trends.
