Prof. Hall Referenced in Star Tribune Editorial on FDA Recall Data

Professor Ralph Hall was referenced in a Star Tribune editorial entitled, "The Wrong Prescription on Medical Devices." The article states that the Institute of Medicine experts' recommendation calls for "blowing up" the current route for product approval. Hall's FDA recall data was included to show that "Just 0.45 percent of 510(k) clearances from 2005-2009 were subject to Class I recalls, the FDA's most serious recall category."
