What are safety reports for?

Safety reports, like those sent to the FDA, are crucial for identifying potential public health issues. They are voluntary submissions from consumers and healthcare professionals detailing adverse events. While they show correlations, they don't prove cause and effect, acting as an early warning system for regulators to investigate further.
