Traxx Recalls Guaifenesin API Powder Due to Foreign Matter

Traxx International Corp is recalling Guaifenesin API powder because it may contain polyethylene fibers from a sifting screen.

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 reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is the presence of foreign matter (polyethylene fibers) in an API powder intended for manufacturing, which is a significant quality issue but does not meet the criteria for Severe or Critical severity as no injuries or deaths are reported.
