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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which the rubric associates with moderate severity, specifically involving labeling errors and low-risk contamination without reported injuries.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for 7-Ketodehydroepiandrosterone (7-Keto DHEA) 100 mg capsules manufactured by KRS Global Biotechnology, Inc. The recall is limited to Lot 08012017@35, which has a Beyond Use Date (BUD) of January 28, 2018. The product is a prescription-only medication packaged in bottles of 90 capsules.

The recall was initiated due to a labeling and quality control issue where the Beyond Use Date (BUD) of the final product exceeds the expiration date of at least one ingredient used in its manufacture. This discrepancy indicates that the product may contain ingredients that were past their expiration date at the time the final product was labeled with its expiration date.

The affected capsules were distributed nationwide in the United States, as well as in Bermuda and New Zealand. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the recalled product and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on disposal or replacement.
