Quetiapine Fumarate Tablets Recalled for Failed Dissolution Test

American Health Packaging is recalling Quetiapine Fumarate 25mg tablets because they failed a dissolution test during stability studies.

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 might cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a quality control failure (dissolution) rather than a direct safety event like contamination or injury.
