Apothecary Shoppe Recalls Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate Vials for Sterility Concerns

The Apothecary Shoppe is recalling Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate 250 vials due to lack of documentation for environmental monitoring during production.

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 2/5 (Moderate).

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, and the hazard is a documentation issue regarding environmental monitoring rather than a confirmed contamination or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
