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: This is an FDA Class II recall initiated voluntarily by the firm for cGMP deviations. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, making this a precautionary recall. Per the rubric, voluntary recalls with no reported harm typically warrant a Moderate (2) rating.
