Calvin Scott Recalls Phentermine Capsules Due to Packaging Defect

Calvin Scott & Co. is recalling specific lots of Phentermine HCL capsules because they were repackaged in transparent pouches, violating CGMP requirements for light-sensitive drugs.

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 violation of CGMP that may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The specific hazard is packaging-related (light sensitivity) rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for minor labeling/packaging errors or low-risk contamination.
