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: This FDA Class II recall addresses a CGMP deviation involving improper storage temperature conditions. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported, and the recall is precautionary in nature. The hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed, consistent with a quality-control issue.
