Calvin Scott & Company is recalling Thyroid Neutral Tabs 2 gr because light-sensitive tablets were repackaged in transparent pouches, violating CGMP standards.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a violation of CGMPs that could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a packaging deviation (light sensitivity) rather than a direct contamination or mislabeling of a common allergen, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
