Althaea Officinalis Homeopathic Pills Recall Due to Failed Identity Testing

Washington Homeopathic Products is recalling Althaea Officinalis 6X Irritable Bladder Sucrose/Lactose Pills distributed nationwide because test results failed to confirm the product's identity using HPTLC analysis.

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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a failed identity test—a labeling/identification defect that does not describe an immediate safety threat to consumers. The recall addresses a manufacturing/quality control issue rather than a known health risk.
