Aripiprazole Tablets Recalled Due to CGMP Deviations and API Specification Failures

American Health Packaging is recalling 270 cartons of Aripiprazole Tablets, USP, 10 mg, because the active pharmaceutical ingredient did not meet all intended specifications.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a theoretical risk of substandard API, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
