FDA recalls Pain Wizard topical pain relief for ingredient specification issues

ARG Laboratories recalled Pain Wizard topical pain relief roll-on due to active ingredient out of specification and violative-grade propylene glycol used in manufacturing.

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 II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The recall is for manufacturing specification violations (out-of-spec active ingredients and violative-grade propylene glycol), which represents a quality control concern rather than a documented safety hazard. This is a precautionary recall for ingredient quality standards.
