Aidapak Recalls Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets Due to Potential Label Mixup

Aidapak Services, LLC is recalling Levothyroxine Sodium tablets because they may have been mislabeled as other prescription 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 involves a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error (label mixup) rather than a contamination or structural defect, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
