Health Innovations Pharmacy is recalling Leucovorin 1 mg/1 mL Suspension due to lack of assurance of sterility and stability data. The recall is limited to North Carolina.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk to sterility in a pharmaceutical product, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury risk or structural/quality defects in regulated products.

Plain-English summary
