Prescription Dental Toothpaste Recalled Due to Incorrect Carton Labeling
AvKARE is recalling Sodium Fluoride 1.1% prescription dental toothpaste because cartons are labeled as Capsaicin Cream 0.025%, though the tubes are correctly labeled. Approximately 35,184 tubes have been distributed to 19 consignees.
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 involving incorrect carton labeling with no reported illnesses or injuries. The actual product is correct and properly labeled on the tube, making this a packaging error rather than a product defect. The theoretical risk of confusion warrants recall action, but correct tube labeling mitigates potential harm.
