Product detention by the FDA is not uncommon in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. However, for many businesses, this can be a difficult challenge that significantly impacts operations. In such high-stress situations, the support of experienced consultants can make a huge difference.
In this article, we share a real-life story of how Metti FDA helped a company overcome FDA detention and quickly bring their product back to the market.

FDA detention: A high-stress, high-risk situation
FDA detention occurs when the agency holds a company’s product, often due to regulatory non-compliance. This may involve various factors such as incomplete product information, failure to meet safety or efficacy standards, or a lack of required documentation to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
A pharmaceutical company recently faced this situation when a shipment of their product was detained by the FDA shortly after entering the U.S. This incident caused severe disruptions to their revenue and reputation. Despite their internal team working tirelessly to resolve the issue, they needed a partner with deep expertise in FDA procedures to address the problem quickly and effectively.

Real case study: What Metti FDA did?
When the company contacted Metti FDA, our team of experts promptly conducted a thorough assessment of the situation. Here are the key steps Metti FDA took to help the company escape FDA detention and get their product back on the market.
Step 1: Analyzing the cause of detention
First, Metti FDA experts carefully analyzed the reasons behind the FDA’s decision to detain the product. After reviewing the documentation, we identified that the primary issue was missing documents and incomplete production process information. Additionally, some technical specifications did not meet FDA requirements, leading to the detention.
Step 2: Developing an action plan
Once the cause was clear, Metti FDA helped the company create a detailed action plan. Our team worked with the client to take the following steps:
-
Update and complete all product documentation, including ingredient information, production processes, and test results.
-
Ensure all safety and efficacy reports were fully and accurately provided.
-
Revise technical specifications to meet the latest FDA requirements.

Step 3: Ensuring compliance with FDA regulations
We didn’t just assist the company in providing complete documentation—we also made sure all the information strictly complied with FDA standards. To achieve this, Metti FDA collaborated closely with industry experts and stayed updated with the latest FDA guidelines and requirements.
Step 4: Communicating and negotiating with the FDA
After preparing all necessary documents, Metti FDA continued by working directly with the FDA to resolve the detention. Our experts presented all improvements and updates the company had made, and negotiated with the agency for the release of the detained product.
Step 5: Returning the product to the market
Finally, after completing all required procedures, the FDA lifted the detention. The company was able to reintroduce their product to the market without facing any further legal complications.

Key takeaway: The value of expertise
This real-life case shows not only the serious consequences of failing to comply with FDA regulations, but also highlights the importance of having a knowledgeable consulting partner. With Metti FDA’s support, the company was able to overcome a critical challenge and resume business operations smoothly.
