Strophanthus Hisp 30X Homeopathic Medicine Fails Identification Test

Washington Homeopathic Products is recalling 91 bottles of Strophanthus hisp 30X for Hives due to failed identification testing. The product did not meet specifications in HPTLC analysis and 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 involving a labeling and identity defect (failed identification testing via HPTLC analysis). The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is based on failure to meet identity specifications rather than confirmed contamination or acute hazard.

Plain-English summary

Washington Homeopathic Products, Inc. is recalling Strophanthus hisp 30X, a homeopathic medicine labeled for hives and containing 20% alcohol. The product is available in three bottle sizes: 15 mL (UPC 7 40640 47553 9), 30 mL (UPC 7 40640 47557 7), and 100 mL (UPC 7 40640 47565 2). A total of 91 bottles from Lot # 29061 were distributed nationwide in the USA.

The recall was initiated because the product failed identification testing based on HPTLC (High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography) analysis and obtained out-of-specification test results. This indicates the product does not meet required identity standards for the active ingredient.

Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it. Consumers with questions or who believe they have experienced an adverse event should contact the FDA at 1-888-SAFEFOOD or visit www.fda.gov.
