Flawless Beauty Recalls Sterilized Water for Injections Due to Misbranding

Flawless Beauty LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots of sterilized water for injections sold in the U.S. because the products were marketed without FDA approval.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, which corresponds to a Severe rating under the rubric, particularly given the products are unapproved new drugs marketed without NDA/ANDA approval.
