The best way to handle Warning Letters issued by the U.S. FDA is to prevent them. This text identifies and discusses those Letters recently issued, offers analysis, and provides guidance to help readers avoid receiving such a letter.

In addition to the Warning Letter summaries there is discussion of U.S. FDA's authority to perform and approach to inspections, some analysis of the types of observations, and guidance on how to deal with adverse findings if you have them.

As an added benefit, this text also includes instructions and suggestions for those who were unable to avoid getting a warning letter to help resolve matters as quickly as possible.
