CariFree CTx4 Gel 5000 Subpotent Sodium Fluoride Recall

Dental Alliance Holdings LLC is recalling CariFree CTx4 Gel 5000 fluoride gel tubes because they contain less sodium fluoride than stated on the label. The affected product is CTx12 5000 Kit lot 142017.

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 for a subpotency issue (lower active ingredient than labeled). No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations are reported in the source. The hazard is a labeling/potency discrepancy rather than a contamination or acute safety risk, consistent with a Moderate severity classification.
