Aconitum Napellus Fear Pills Recalled for Failed Quality Testing

Washington Homeopathic Products is recalling Aconitum Napellus Fear homeopathic pills in multiple potencies and package sizes (562 bottles, Lot #26198) distributed nationwide because test results showed out-of-specification identification results on 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 quality/identification failure detected through testing rather than a direct safety threat to consumers. The recall appears to be precautionary in nature based on failed analytical testing.
