OTC Throat Lozenges Recalled for Temperature Storage Deviation
Ricola Cherry Honey Herb Throat Drops are recalled because products in batch 2000058693 were exposed to temperatures outside the labeled storage conditions during distribution. The Class II recall affects nationwide shipments.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for a manufacturing deviation (temperature exposure) with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a theoretical loss of product efficacy due to improper storage conditions, not an active safety threat.
