Asthmanefrin Racephinephrine Inhalation Solution is being recalled because batches were stored outside the conditions specified on the drug label. The recall affects products distributed nationwide.

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. The recall is due to a CGMP compliance deviation (improper storage) without documented safety incidents, qualifying it as a quality control matter rather than an active safety threat.
