Medaus Recalls Estradiolval and Testosterone Vials Due to Sterility Concerns

Medaus, Inc. is recalling Estradiolval and testosterone vials because the company cannot ensure the product is sterile.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a lack of assurance of sterility in a parenteral product, which poses a significant risk of infection or serious injury.
