CariFree CTx36 Kit recalled for subpotent fluoride content
Dental Alliance Holdings LLC is recalling the CTx36 Kit because it contains less sodium fluoride than stated on the product label. Affected patients should contact their dentist.
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 III recall involving a labeling/potency discrepancy with no reported illnesses or injuries. Class III recalls are typically scored 1–2; a potency deficiency in a topical dental product without documented harm warrants a Moderate (2) rating as a precautionary measure for a prescription medication.
