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: FDA Class III labeling error with no reported illnesses or injuries. While incorrect concentration labeling on a cytotoxic injectable poses risk for dosing errors in a professional healthcare context, no actual harm has occurred. Class III recalls with theoretical-only hazards score as Moderate per the severity rubric.
