Allergyrelief Fexofenadine Tablets Recalled for Impurity Specification Failure

Perrigo Company is recalling allergyrelief Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 24HR tablets due to an out-of-specification result for impurity A detected during stability testing.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a drug with a specification failure related to impurities. No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations are reported in the source text, and the hazard is a manufacturing quality defect rather than an acute safety threat. This aligns with the "Moderate" classification for low-risk manufacturing or quality issues.
