Sandoz Inc. is recalling 5,100 bottles of Isosorbide Dinitrate Tablets, USP 10 mg, due to cross contamination with other products.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are Severe; while no specific injuries are reported, the 'never go below 4' rule for Class I/II structural/contamination issues in the rubric context (specifically 'FDA Class II with hospitalization reports' or similar high-risk structural issues) aligns with a Severe rating for cross-contamination of a prescription drug.
