Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets Nationwide Recall Due to Subpotency

Accord Healthcare is recalling approximately 18,984 bottles of Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets, 112 mcg, nationwide because the tablets are subpotent. Patients taking this medication should contact their pharmacy or healthcare provider immediately.

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 with no reported adverse events or hospitalizations mentioned in the source text. Subpotency is a labeling/potency defect that poses a theoretical risk of therapeutic failure rather than direct patient harm, placing it in the Moderate category per the rubric.
