FDA Recalls Laryngitis Pills Marketed Without Approval

Murray International Trading Co. is recalling Laryngitis Pills Herbal Supplement because it is marketed as a dietary supplement but bears drug claims, making it an unapproved drug.

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, which typically indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is regulatory (unapproved drug status) rather than a specific acute physical injury like choking or fire, fitting the Moderate category for labeling/regulatory issues without reported severe harm.

Plain-English summary

Murray International Trading Co. is recalling Laryngitis Pills Herbal Supplement. The product is packaged in 10-count packets containing 3 tubes per packet within a box. It was produced by Good Harvests (Asia) Trading Co., Ltd. and imported by Murray Int'l Trading Co., Inc., located in New York, NY. The product bears the UPC 7 67533 86925 1, and the remaining labeling contains Chinese characters.

The recall was initiated because the product is marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). Although labeled as a dietary supplement, the product's labeling includes drug and disease claims. This classification makes the product an unapproved drug under FDA regulations.

The recall covers 178 boxes of the product. Distribution was nationwide and in Puerto Rico. All lots are affected. Consumers should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
