FDA Recalls Acetaminophen in Health Kits Due to Labeling Error

A-S Medication Solutions is recalling Health Essentials Kits containing Acetaminophen 500mg tablets. The bottles were incorrectly labeled with prescription drug labels instead of OTC labels.

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 I, but the hazard is a labeling mix-up (prescription vs. OTC label) without reported injuries or deaths. Per the rubric, minor labeling errors or voluntary precautionary recalls without reported harm typically fall under Moderate (2), as the risk is theoretical and administrative rather than a direct physical hazard like contamination or structural defect.
