CVS Health Daytime Cold & Flu Relief Drug Recalled for Subpotency

What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall for a subpotent drug with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is product efficacy rather than safety, and no harm has been reported. Per the severity rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2, and absent any reported adverse effects, a score of 1 is appropriate.
