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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Although classified as FDA Class II, no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source material. The hazard is improper storage temperature—a potential quality issue rather than documented harm. Per the severity rubric, when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the maximum score is 3.
