Audiologist's Choice Carbamide Peroxide Earwax Removal Recalls
Bell Pharmaceuticals is recalling Audiologist's Choice Carbamide Peroxide earwax removal product due to subpotency: the active ingredient concentration is approximately 0.6% instead of the expected 6–7%, and the product has low pH.
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 II recall involving a subpotent drug with low pH. No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations are reported in the source text, and the hazard is primarily one of reduced efficacy rather than direct toxicity. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without reported adverse events typically score 2.
