Z-1020 Formula Homeopathic Medicine Recall for Failed Identification Testing

Washington Homeopathic Products is recalling Z-1020 Formula due to out-of-specification test results on identification testing. The product was distributed nationwide.

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 quality-control test (HPTLC identification testing) rather than a confirmed contamination or mislabeling incident. The source text contains no evidence of actual harm, making this a precautionary quality-assurance recall.

Plain-English summary

Washington Homeopathic Products, Inc. is recalling Z-1020 Formula, a homeopathic medicine containing 1000ml of 20% alcohol solution. The product is intended for manufacturing use only and contains multiple homeopathic remedies including Aurum Metallicum, Baryta Carbonica, Chromium Sulphuricum, Crataegus Oxyacantha, Digitalis Purpurea, Manganum Metallicum, and Zincum Muriaticum in various potencies.

The recall was initiated because identification testing using HPTLC (High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography) analysis produced out-of-specification results, meaning the product did not meet required testing standards for proper identification of its components.

The affected product is Lot #26529 with expiration date 8/17/2026. Two 1-liter bottles were distributed nationwide in the USA. Consumers or facilities that have received this product should stop using it and contact Washington Homeopathic Products, Inc. for instructions on return or disposal.
