Murray International Recalls Unapproved Sciatica Pills Marketed as Supplements

Murray International Trading Co. is recalling 144 bottles of Sciatica Pills because they are marketed as dietary supplements but contain drug claims, making them unapproved drugs.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with significant injury/property-damage reports or structural defects are Severe. While specific injury reports are not detailed in the snippet, the unapproved drug status and Class II designation align with the Severe criteria for significant regulatory violations involving unapproved pharmaceuticals.
