Flawless Beauty LLC is voluntarily recalling all lots of Saluta Glutathione Whitening kits nationwide because they were marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA).

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 source explicitly states the agency classification is Class II. According to the severity rubric, an FDA Class II recall corresponds to a score of 4 (Severe).
