What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a subpotent prescription medication, which poses a risk of harm due to lack of therapeutic effect, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.
