What this means for you

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: FDA Class II recall for a prescription drug with out-of-specification potency is a risk-of-harm situation. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but deviation from specification poses potential safety risks including treatment failure if subpotent or adverse effects if superpotent.
