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 the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error rather than a contamination or structural defect, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for minor labeling errors.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall for chlorpromazine HCl tablets, 100 mg, distributed by Aidapak Services, LLC. The recall is due to a labeling mixup where the chlorpromazine tablets may have been incorrectly labeled as acyclovir tablets, 800 mg, or trimethobenzamide HCl capsules, 300 mg.

The affected products are identified by specific pedigree codes and expiration dates. The chlorpromazine tablets involved have pedigree codes AD70629_4 and AD70700_1, both with an expiration date of May 29, 2014. The potential mislabels correspond to acyclovir with pedigree AD70629_1 and trimethobenzamide with pedigree AD70705_1, also expiring May 29, 2014.

These repacked drugs were distributed in Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for these specific pedigree codes and expiration dates. If the products are found, they should be returned to the distributor or disposed of according to local regulations, and patients should consult their healthcare provider regarding any medication already taken.
