Teva Pharmaceuticals USA is recalling specific bottles of mixed amphetamine salts tablets because some may contain mixed strengths.

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, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is a potential dosing error due to mixed strengths, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving labeling or product integrity issues without reported harm.
