What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score when no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Murray International Trading Co. is recalling Peking Niu-Huang Chieh-Tu-Pien Tablets (Sugar Coated), packaged in 50-count bottles within a box. The product is manufactured by Beijing Tung Jen Tang in Beijing, China, and features labeling that includes Chinese characters. The recall covers all lots of the product.

The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall because the product is marketed with labeling that bears drug or disease claims, making it an unapproved drug. Although marketed as a dietary supplement, the specific claims on the label require an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA), which the product does not possess.

The product was distributed nationwide and in Puerto Rico. Consumers who have purchased these tablets should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
