Adverse Event Reporting Facility: www.aer-consultants.com

In 2006 Congress adopted the Dietary Supplement and Non-Prescription Drug Consumer Protection Act.  Known as the “AER” law (for “Adverse Event Reporting”) the new law requires manufacturers and distributors to report all “serious” adverse events to the FDA.  The bill was introduced June 21, 2006, adopted on December 9, 2006 and signed into law on December 22, 2006, effective December 22, 2007.

The Institute has resolved to support the creation of a new community outreach, Adverse Event Reporting Consultants (AERC).  We have obtained an appropriate web address: www.aer-consultants.com for the Project.  The idea here is to create a collaborative structure, under the general sponsorship of the Institute for Health Research, in cooperation with healthcare professionals and advocacy groups, that can act in good faith, as a neutral third party, to evaluate adverse reaction claims, on behalf of consumers and purveyors alike.
