Milk of Magnesia Recalled for Manufacturing Process Control Issues

Plastikon Healthcare LLC is recalling Milk of Magnesia USP due to manufacturing process control deviations affecting approximately 92,200 cups distributed nationwide.

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: FDA Class II recall without reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard involves manufacturing process control deviations rather than a specific identified contamination or defect. This is a precautionary regulatory compliance recall with no documented adverse health events.

Plain-English summary

Plastikon Healthcare LLC is recalling Milk of Magnesia USP, 2400 mg/10 mL (magnesium hydroxide), packaged in 30 mL cups, due to manufacturing process control deviations.
