Evamist (Estradiol) Transdermal Spray Recalled for Failed Content Uniformity

Padagis US LLC is recalling 43,238 cartons of Evamist (Estradiol) transdermal spray nationwide because the spray content uniformity specification for standard deviation was not met at the 18-month stability time point.

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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a quality control specification failure affecting dose consistency, which the FDA classifies as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. Consistent with Class III recalls, this warrants a Moderate severity rating.
