Docusate Sodium Softgels Recalled Due to Incorrect Secondary Carton Labeling

Rx Pak Division of McKesson Corporation is recalling Docusate Sodium 100mg softgels because secondary cartons may be mislabeled as Gabapentin 300mg.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error (mislabeling) rather than a contamination or structural defect, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
