Axcentria Recalls Hemo-Stat Solution for Lack of FDA Approval

Axcentria Pharmaceuticals is recalling Hemo-Stat Solution because it was marketed without an approved NDA/ANDA and lacks an NDC number.

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 situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The specific issue is regulatory non-compliance (lack of approval/NDC) rather than a direct physical hazard like contamination or injury.
