Clobazam tablets recalled for potential manufacturing cross-contamination risk

Breckenridge Pharmaceuticals is recalling certain lots of Clobazam 10 mg tablets due to a potential cross-contamination risk stemming from manufacturing process deviations.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 II recall with theoretical hazard (potential contamination) and no reported illnesses or injuries. This is a precautionary, manufacturing-practice-based recall fitting the criterion for low-risk contamination.
