What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a drug (Labetalol HCl) with no reported illnesses or injuries, and the hazard (lack of sterility assurance) is theoretical rather than confirmed contamination. Per the rubric, when no illnesses/injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3, making this a Low severity recall.
